What's considered a high EFC?

Paying for College

<p>Just curious. What does everybody think? </p>

<p>I do realize that the average EFC was $8890 for 1999-2000.
[Average</a> expected family contribution (EFC) for full-time, full-year undergraduates (in constant 1999 dollars), by dependency status and family income: 1989–90, 1992–93, 1995–96, and 1999–2000](<a href=“http://165.224.221.98/das/library/tables_listings/show_nedrc.asp?rt=p&tableID=386]Average”>http://165.224.221.98/das/library/tables_listings/show_nedrc.asp?rt=p&tableID=386)</p>

<p>Your EFC is your EFC. What is considered high by some students is not considered high by others. I would say that an EFC in excess of the cost of attendance at your college would be high.</p>

<p>Easy answer. Whatever your EFC is, it is high. At least that’s how most people react at first when they figure out what their EFC is.</p>
