The net price calculators on the college websites are for students enrolling in fall 2016. They are NOT for students enrolling fall 2018. Financial aid policies change form year to year. You need to do the net price calculators the early fall of your senior year in high school…not now. Right now they are a very gross estimate.
In addition, your financial situation could be very different in two years.
Also, your choices could be affected by your actual ACT or SAT scores and your GPA at the end of your junior year.
Yes…good to do some preliminary looking now…and gaining info (like NYU being ED only). But your focus right now shoild,be on getting tippy top grades, and then the best ACT and/or SAT possible.
