What if this year's EFC is off and you're able to cover your tuition and expenses without having to borrow as much.
If let's say you were "expected" to borrow 30k and you borrow only 20k or 10k. Will the financial aid office put like, a red checkmark next to your name and give you less aid the following year? Will they think you fudged numbers or something? It just seems my EFC was a little low and I don't want to get the shaft next year for not borrowing the full amount this year.
