<p>How close did they come to meeting your FAFSA Expexted Family Contribution (EFC) ?</p>

<p>Did they say they would meet 100% ?</p>

<p>If all deadlines and requirements are met, then USC does meet 100% of USC-determined need. That means it may not be the same as your FAFSA EFC. They consider assets reported in the CSS Profile as well, so USC-determined need may be higher. All of this is explained in the FAQ for Financial Aid thread. Good luck.</p>
