“and increased EFC of $50,000”

This may or may not be an area of concern based on what your claimed EFC was in the prior application cycle and whether any dramatic increase in EFC has a reasonable explanation.

I am not familiar with the process or requirements for international applicants financial need verification, therefore, I wonder whether the claimed EFC is based on verifiable factors or subject to the applicant’s judgment.

If the EFC is a significant upward adjustment without reasonable explanation for a dramatic change in the course of one year, I suggest that you consider applying elsewhere. But,if there is a reasonable explanation–such as an inheritance–then reapplying poses no ethical concern regarding claimed financial need / financial ability to pay.

Two new ECs are unlikely to impress admissions officers, in my opinion, and may be viewed with skepticism.
