Is my List Realistic?

@"Erin’s Dad"‌ I have run the net calculators, but for almost every college I have searched, the EFC is high and very similar. For our net income of less than 90k/year, our EFC is around the 28-30k. I have asked my friends whose parents have a higher salary than mine, and their EFCs are lower. I’m at a loss as to why our figure is so much more.

If the EFC estimate is true, then what type of universities should I apply for? State universities and smaller private universities where the average GPA and SAT scores are lower, where they can offer me better merit scholarships?
