Early Decision loophole?

cannot pay and will not pay are not the same.

As far as CMU and any school is concerned on early decision…you are expected to pay your EFC as calculated by FAFSA.

This number is very often a rude awakening for most families-- run the FAFSA estimator and run the CMU early estimate.
That’s what you have to pay – if you will not pay it b/c you don’t think it’s something you can handle, that’s kinda the sad situation of the middle class. This however will not get you out of an ED offer.

Read all the pleas of help around April and May all over CC =-especially the fin aid threads. This happens in all colleges.

EFC-- that’s what you have to pay everywhere!
