<p>How messed up do you think their formula actually is? Just an opinion is fine, even if you don’t know exactly how it works. I’m coming from a 4 member family, my brother’s a year older than me and in college as well, and we’re in the lowest income bracket above the poverty line. Our EFC is nil, and if Middlebury expects us to pay a large portion anyway, we’re not gonna be able to afford it at all. A large part of the reason I chose Middlebury as my first choice was that they supposedly meet 100% of financial need. Do you think I should still apply ED?</p>
