Financial aid ed

I’m bent on applying ED to UPenn and the only thing holding me back is finaid. I get you’re not supposed to apply ED if you’re hesitant about finaid, but it’s more of my family could afford it (i think), but would like some finaid. From what I’ve heard/asked my friends at UPenn, they pretty much got no financial aid ED. (I have a friend who applied ED but got in and did actually back out because of lack of finaid.)

I also asked my regional admission officer and his reply was essentially, Penn has no EFC calculator and it’s done a calculation by calculation basis. My family earns around $80,000.

What do you think of Penn’s financial aid/what’s your experience with it?
