<p>klc -- I think you are referring to how the IM method works. It is my understanding that the FAFSA method divides the EFC by however many kids are in college -- thus the 50% figure. The Institutional Methodology does it a bit differently and expects a 60% contribution of the EFC for each kid. So, with 2 kids, you would pay 120% of your EFC (with 100% need met schools, not count loans, etc)</p>
