“Why couldn’t having a high EFC be my only worry like it is for most of CC? :-(”</p>
<p>We don’t have a high EFC. If we don’t get substantial financial aid, my S will go to our local state college. Not what he wants, but that is what we can afford. </p>
<p>Sometimes we just have to make the best with what we’ve been given. Sometimes life doesn’t give us a direct path to our “dreams.” Attitude and passion counts for so much.</p>
<p>When I first read your post yesterday, I felt so sad for your situation. If it is as you describe, perhaps you will need a time of mourning, then pick yourself up and go with Plan B. Don’t just give up.</p>
<p>Many here on CC have given good advice.</p>
<p>I do hope for the very best for you.</p>
