<p>Our EFC from FAFSA was $14,000 but USC says $22,000. Our home equity is only $60,000 and oldest parent is 55. What would the allowance be? Syracuse uses the Institutional Method like USC but their EFC is $15,000 using CSS. The college board calculator estimator using the IM method came closer to the $15,000 than the $22,000.</p>
