No. You’ve said your EFC is $30,000. Cost of attendance includes room and board etc. and is shown as $45685 for 09-10 school year. (This is a flexible amount since it depends on your frugality, cost of housing and transportation, etc.)
Honestly, don’t let the uninformed opinions of student and parents on a forum (that includes MY opinions!!! ;)) change your plans. We are NOT on the admissions committee - and for a given level of talent (as in many of the kid on CC, who all seem to have very high scores, rank, ECs etc.) there is NO way to accurately predict these things. Okay? Okay - now crank out a great application and here’s hoping you get a great FA package or scholarship in the fall…</p>
