<p>Is paying for ND doable? My household combined income is 130k but my sister just went to college this year and we still have debt from step siblings. We also just bought a new house. I don't want to be drowning in school expenses and ruin my parents' retirement. How would ND treat my situation? I'll do a chance me thread later to see if I can get in but want to know if I'd even be able to pay for it first.</p>
<p>It’s kind of like “you won’t know unless you ask”. First apply, if you get accepted, you look at the aid offer, then you have all the info to make the decision that’s right for you and your family. Trying to guess if you will be accepted, and guess what the aid offer will be, really is pointless.</p>
<p>We found that the Net Price calculator was not very accurate. Their financial aid offered was much less.</p>
