My family EFC…

Is that a FAFSA number? If so, its not relevant to colleges that use Profile/institutional formulas.

Did you run the NPC? How does your FA award compare to that calculated by the NPC?

btw: yes, BC meets 100% of need as they calculate it. The one big thing that differs from FAFSA is home equity. Fafsa excludes home equity, whereas colleges that use Profile/institutional formula include home equity as an asset in its calculation of need.

Other colleges release admit and FA at he same time.

So, the solution is to hold all admission decisions until financial aid awards have been calculated?
