That’s a good point if you think your income will go up. I think right now in this Country more people’s incomes are going down. So if your family’s income is not on the rise, what’s best?

It’s just kind of interesting to me that merit aid might not be wanted if you have a low EFC. I’ve never thought about it before, but why would you want money with any strings compared to need based $$? There are colleges known for being most generous first year and then cutting college aid. I’d be nervous about it if the school doesn’t meet 100% of need. Can you decline merit $$?
