<p>Sybbie, I am under the impression that the Profile calculates EFC for different households separately; that is, my dad will not be expected to contribute anything from his income. Am I mistaken? (It seems odd that he would have to contribute; he flirts with the poverty line as it is.)</p>
<p>Thumper, my prospective colleges use Profile methodology, so I do not think that FAFSA’s 20% tax on students matters. I’m fortunate enough to be a competitive applicant to universities with large endowments. :)</p>
