FAFSA made an error - now what?

I was shocked how high our EFC was – it was about 60% household income. I thought that might be due to having a family member working at a college with tuition exchange. Turns out, FAFSA notified me today (4/9!) they made “an electronic error” and the new EFC is more like 25%. They said they would notify the schools. Think it will make much difference? Haven’t they left it kind of late?

This is frustrating and confusing. I’m kicking myself for not calling them on that original EFC.
