Any value filling out the CSS with a high EFC?

Our EFC was higher than COAs, and retirement plan funds, excluded from FAFSA but I understand included in the CSS, would almost certainly not make the results any better.

And probably not any worse. Yes, Profile does ask for qualified retirement account balances, but while debatable, it’s highly unlikely that these assets will decrease any need-based aid awarded.
