From over $50,000 aid (net calculator) to...$18,000 (reality). Cool.

@fishgill I’m sorry :confused: No aid at all?! That sucks, especially because the gap is so large…I hope you have other options in mind!

@sybbie719 While it’s true what you are stating, the calculator is just wildly inaccurate and frankly seems a bit unprofessional on their end. Of course paying just $4,950 (or whatever it was) sounds too good to be true, but you’d think that maybe 50% of that is okay to expect. That’s half.
If so many people have already been disappointed, don’t you think they should change it? I’m sure they make nice money off the application fees alone. It seems like a money ploy (like so much of college, let’s be real here).

50% of $56,000 would have been about $28,000. I got about $18,000.

The least I can do is warn some students who are also fighting through the maze of application processes and shelling out a lot of money (actually hundreds) on just applying to college.
