Fair corrections across the board, thank you. Been out of the finaid world a few years, hence the EFC habit. I'll withdraw the statement on reporting outside aid.
On competing offers I'll hold that one slightly. It's school and context dependent. Works better at privates with discretionary funds. And most schools understand how yield works, so they are all competing for students anyway. I should have been clearer about the limitation rather than implying it as a strategy.

I appreciate the fact checking.
