How accurate is the Net Price Calculator?

<p>College board has an estimated NPC for GW university including their FAFSA/CSS expected money...
does anyone know how accurate it is in regards to what will actually be paid?</p>

<p>GW is extremely expensive so they better be pretty good with the financial aid packages!!</p>

<p>Hi there, </p>

<p>If you provide accurate information within the calculator, you will get a relatively accurate estimate. I can say that I actually received more aid than the calculator estimated, and just about my entire tuition payment is covered. Personally, if you have high need—you will receive a substantial amount of aid. </p>
