Is CPP extremely stingy in calculating EFC?

When I submitted my FAFSA, my EFC was under 500 bones. I was expected to receive a cal grant for the maximum amount. CPP calculated my EFC at 16 grand; more than the cost of attendance. I wasn't even offered sub'd loans. My family has very little money; we don't understand how this is possible. Even if we traded in our cars for bus passes and started eating ramen every day, we wouldn't be able to pay for this. I turned down better, closer schools to go here because I didn't want to be drowning in debt. I called the fin-aid office thinking there was some crazy mistake. They verified everything as correct. I have no choice but to drop out.
