FAFSA EFC means nothing at Notre Dame. They calculate their own through your FAFSA, CSS, and IDOC. They include income, assets, debts, budgets, expenses, and a slew of other things to do it. This can help some and hurt others.



thanks, would i be able to get loans to pay the $7910 each year since my parents credit is somewhat messed up since our house was in foreclosure?

You should be able to take out federal student loans on your own, but the Stafford only goes to $5500 for freshman year. There are some others, like Perkins, but I don’t know specifics. Maybe ask in the Financial Aid forum.
