MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

So I filled out my FAFSA and sent it out to the school I'm waitlisted at.
I know my expected financial contribution (EFC). So if I get in, does this mean that I'm covered financially this coming school year for all the expenses (tuition and living) assuming I cover the expected financial contribution?
How much money will I get? Does the school decide or does FAFSA see the school's expected yearly budget and decide?

The way a FAFSA rep explained it to me when I called was like this:
FAFSA (or whatever the name of the actual department is called) provides schools with an EFC (expected family contribution) which is basically what they calculate a person should reasonably be able to pay out of their own pocket.
Schools, who receive a certain amount of federal funds for Stafford loans then decide how to structure each students financial aid package. So I guess people w/ very low EFC's get the bulk of subsidized loans, while people w/ high EFC's probably just get unsubsidized Stafford loans. Then students have to take out private loans for the balance of their tuition and/or living expenses that they can't cover out of their pocket.

Is it an unwritten rule that schools will decide admits and rejections on a candidate's EFC? (assuming both candidates are close)
I know it's probably illegal, but they could be doing all sorts of things in the "black hole."
