^ As a backup to the Ivys… USC provides the same financial aid to transfers as to freshmen. They use the CSS/Profile to determine need and guarantee to meet 100% of USC-determined need.

Use the calculators available to the College Board website (using the institutional method) to get an estimate of how much you will be expected to contribute at a CSS/Profile school. (*Your expected contribution at a CSS/Profile school may differ from your FAFSA EFC because assets, such as home equity and assets excluded by the “simplified needs test,” will be included in the calculations.)
