FAFSA for two kids resulted in two different EFC numbers. Huh?

@chipperd- Not sure who you are posting to (I don’t think its me), but as for the variance in schools’ NPCs, this is not news. Schools use different calculators, include different factors, offer different potential incentives, etc. This is why most folks say that while running a generic NPC (like in CollegeBoard) may be a good start, running each schools’ specific NPCs is essential.
