Here are the results for my EFC only…
I qualify for simplified EFC formulas: EFC = 1892*
I do not qualify for simplified EFC formulas: EFC = 3763**
- This same result was generated by the CollegeBoard's EFC calculator and the forum's EFC spreadsheet. ** This result could only be generated by the forum's EFC spreadsheet and could not be reproduced by the CollegeBoard's EFC calculator because I could not figure out a way to trick the CollegeBoard's EFC calculator to believe that I did not qualify for simplified EFC formulas.
The following Pell grant estimates below were produced by the forum’s EFC calculator and Pell Grant estimator based on last year’s Pell grant tables. According to the forums calculator estimator the new Pell grant tables are not yet available.
I qualify for simplified EFC formulas: Max. Pell Grant = $4,070
I do not qualify for simplified EFC formulas: Max. Pell Grant = $2,170
Given the fact that these numbers are only for me and not my sister, I think it’s extremely obvious that my father is right and should file an amended return provided the 12 week delay does not erase all the gain suggested above.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thank you very much
