What does my efc mean?

Hippobirdy…ask for professional judgement based on WHAT?

@kitten23 A family business, lots of assets, and a “low income” would not do well with CSS Schools likely either.

A year ago, you brought your issue up in a thread and you were told that you needed to apply to schools that would give you huge merit for your stats. At that time, you said that your parents wouldn’t be paying for any of your education.

Did you do that? What merit awards did you get?

Poor OP. kitten seems to have high jacked this thread.

@mom2collegekids‌ My current offers consist of 4 colleges, minus a few others that are definitely out of the picture. The cost after institutional scholarships per year (so far, some haven’t announced all awards):
College A: 22,180 (dream college, first choice)
College B: 15,320, also given study abroad/ research stipend of 2500
College C: 14,806
College D: 9,551

I’m still waiting on outside awards.

@kitten23 and @hwhat318 what are you planning on studying? Do you believe you will go on to graduate/professional school after UG?

Chemistry and/or Chemical Engineering… If I go the Chemistry route, I’d maybe go to grad school if I can find the funding.
