As far as attempting to get a lower price by comparing a school price with other FA packages, what if your least expensive school is still too expensive?

by too expensive, I mean the amount after grants/scholarships is above our EFC.

Is the right approach in this case to be to appeal to family affordability?

also, Can someone speak on how FAO's perceive EFC and the bottom line aid they give? Specifically, one college already told me that the college 'tries to match the EFC' in developing their FA package. The problem is, and it is a huge one,

[i]the college takes loans into consideration when matching EFC[i]

and I DO NOT take loans into consideration to get down to our EFC.

Will FAOs understand this (my) position?
