Prolly cuz I am indepenedent or something</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I made a little over 14K, but 3K of it was during my spring semester of undergrad, so I spent most of if not all of it.
I'm living at home this year and my parents make me give them the first paycheck of the month (so I don't spend it) and I keep the second. I spent over 5K for the cost of applying (AMCAS, secondaries, suits, etc.) So, when FAFSA asked how much I had saved it was only 3K. I think that is why my EFC is so low.
My dad is also 58 and there is one other dependent in my house (my parents are raising my niece.) I think that contributes my "independency."
Woohoo! I'm considered poor!
