Should I submit FAFSA even with high EFC?

ohhhhh - i misread - i thought they were saying the student was applying to a public and private.

ok - then yes they should do -but they can basically duplicate the info from the first - so it will be relatively easy to do with minor differences.

Bottom line is - it can’t hurt you - it can only help you - well, unless you apply to a school that then sends you a letter that they lost your data (like Boulder).
