Hello guys,
I am going to be a 1st year dental student at UCSF SoD. The school was generous with its financial aid need-based grant. However, this is when my EFC was 0 when both I and my spouse were in graduate school. Now that my spouse will graduate and work (in SF, assuming starting salary 80K), my EFC according to FAFSA will change to like around 26k due to increase in spousal income ( my parents' financial situation will not differ compared to previous years). If someone went to UCSF or has received need-based grant from your state school (like Colorado Dental), do you know if school would generally reduce need based grant first or would they simply reduce the parameter that I can borrow from Grad Plus and Federal Unsubsidized loan? Thank you.
