<p>OK, you guys, you gave me great help last year…someone telling me that your EFC is an automatic ‘O’ if you make under $31,000 a year…so I managed to make that happen and thats exactly what our EFC was.
Anyway my question is, this year we made way below the $31,000, a little over $25,000 and my daughter made less than she did last year, everything else the same and my EFC was $552. Well OK, maybe it doesnt really make any difference to how much financial aide she will get (but you never know, there could be more money out there for her) but I dont understand why?? Is it because I didnt fill out the ‘assets’ part of the form, since I didnt need to I figured it would be easier to just omit it. It should have been a ‘O’ with that little money and 3 dependents. I don’t get it!!!</p>
