<p>I did my Fafsa before my mom actaully finshed her 2005 tax forms. So I used last years taxes and after submitting my Fafsa my EFC was 0. However once she finshed her taxes for this year I went back and updated my fafsa. I thought that everything would be fine, that my EFC would still be 0. But I was wrong because it went from 0 to 103.<br>
I’m not really sure if that’s a whole lot or not, but I’m worried because if it is I know that my MOM whose a single parent won’t be able to pay a whole lot of money for my college education. 103 seems like very big jump from 0, but am I wrong???</p>
<p>103 just means $103…</p>
<p>so, i guess you’d have to evaluate whether you could afford that or not.</p>
<p>i’m not really sure if that is a big jump or not.</p>
<p>Lets test for understanding.</p>
<p>So instead of having an EFC of $0</p>
<p>you now have an EFC of $103</p>
<p>this is a fate worse than death why???</p>
<p>I don’t think he understands that 103 is a dollar value. I must admit when I first saw my EFC it seems like some point system or something like that. The FAFSA should really say $ 103 or whatever the money is.</p>
<p>Put this in perspective Dionni. Most students here are trying to figure out how to cover $10,000 or more. $103 is a blessing.</p>
<p>Wanna Trade?</p>
<p>if you worked at mcdonalds for a week you could cover your EFC. Be happy your EFC is low.</p>
