Well, here is my story:

My brother is 2 years older than me and applied for his FAFSA 2 years ago and his EFC came out to be $16,000. At the time, he was the only person going to college from my family.

2 years later, I also apply for a FAFSA alongside my brother, making the total 2 people going to college from my family.

My EFC comes out to be $14,000 and my brother also in a similar range of $14,000.

My dad's net income stayed relatively the same during this 2 year period.

So basically, my question is, our total EFC went from $16,000 to $28,000?

That's pretty much 30% of our total net income, I have no idea how this happened.

Wasn't our EFC supposed to be cut in halve after I applied since there are now 2 people going to college from our family?
