I’m with @BelknapPoint . You won’t know your total net cost at any college until you receive a financial aid award from that college.
I’ve never heard of a college that sends a calculated net cost to each parent in divorced situations. I’m not saying that doesn’t exist…but I’ve never heard of that. When your student receives a financial aid package, you will know what the college is giving for need based aid in total for that student. That financial aid award is subtracted from the total cost of attendance at that college. The remainder is your net cost…or family contribution…as that college determines it to be.
Profile schools will use the data on the Profile to determine awarding of institutional need based aid.
I’m still very unclear how you think you know the “EFC” for each parent right now. Could you clarify that?
The FAFSA gives a student aid report (SAR) which has the FAFSA EFC on it. So far as I know, the Profile does not do this.
@BelknapPoint has there been a change and now the Profile generates a “EFC” for each college?
