Is the net price calculator on college board accurate?

<p>It says that I'd pay a total of around 6 thousand dollars with all of the financial aid. If that's the case, it would cost me 6,000 dollars less to attend this school than a UC.
Notre Dame has always been my dream school, but if for some reason I don't receive aid that makes my stay reasonable, I wouldn't go.
Can someone that already knows what there financial aid packet is please play around with the calculator and report the differences on here. If the differences are small then I'll most definitely commit. It's coming down to the wire between UCLA, Berkeley, and ND.</p>

<p>here it is for anyone who’s willing to help

<p>DS will be a freshman at ND next fall. I found the NPC to be rather accurate - it was off by only about $2k (ND offered more money than the NPC predicted).</p>

<p>yay. Thanks for the help</p>
