Tell me if I am doing something wrong or if we are just out of luck.
When I run the EFC calculator and net price calculators on schools that use collegeboard data like Penn, I get an EFC of around $30K to $35K (ouch!) because even though our income is pretty low, our investments are on the high side.
When I run the next price calculator on Princeton, which uses it's own formula, it says "don't expect financial aid, here's the full price." Eeek!
I'm also confused thought Princeton had the most generous fin aid in the country.
Or, here's a worse thought - is the collegeboard formula accurate at all? Could my kid get accepted to say Penn and get socked with full tuition?
(Edit: I tried Harvard's net price calc and they come in lower than collegeboard - just $26K)
