<p>Yes, Middlebury and its peers will meet 100% of demonstrated need. The “catch” is that each college will use its own formula to determine your family’s need, and these determinations may vary widely. In our case, Midd determined that our need was zero. A few of its peers determined that our need was around $20K per year. Still others were somewhere in between. </p>
<p>Our family’s EFC according to FAFSA was just over $30K, meaning that according to FAFSA our need was about $20K for Midd and its peers, which have a COA of over $50K per year.</p>
<p>Personally, I think that applying ED to any college is risky since it’s hard to know how it will calculate your need. This is not unique to Midd. Perhaps you will get all you hope for; perhaps not.</p>
