<p>If you are OOS, your need will NOT be met.</p>
<p>If you are in state, your need may be met. However, UM uses the Profile to collect additional info that may show a different picture than the FAFSA. Sometimes families who actually are in a decent financial situation get a low EFC because of paper losses & hidden assets. Profile helps uncover those things. The majority of low EFC students really are low EFC, though, so Profile won’t change things. UM has been very good for 0 EFC, in state students.</p>
