multi-school net price calculator

<p>Colleges are now required to have net price calculators, and Googling "net price calculator Gonzaga" will take you to Gonzaga's. </p>

<p>Is there a site that lets you make a list of schools, asks you for all the information that any of the schools on the list require, and then shows the net price for each of the schools on your list? Such a "unified" net price calculator would be informative.</p>

<p>ETA: I now see that the College Board has a Net Price Calculator that many schools use.</p>

<p>Not exactly what you asked for, but:</p>

<p>What you want doesn’t exist. </p>

<p>If the college/university you are looking at uses the College Board system, you can save your data in that system and then pull it up when you need to run the NPC for another institution that uses the College Board system as well.</p>

<p>However many places don’t link to the College Board, and those that do may ask for additional information because of their specific formulae, so be prepared to do a lot of data entry.</p>

<p>And next April when you/your kid start to get results, this is the calculator you will want to use: <a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid;

<p>I’d be afraid of submitting too much personal financial information into any third party website. At best, they may sell the information. At worst, they may use it for identify fraud.</p>

<p>The ones I’ve used have asked for numbers but no personally identifiable information.</p>

<p>Some NPCs will ask for all kinds of crazy information (even CB ones), like name, DOB, address, and telephone number. I tend to type gibberish in for all of that information.</p>

<p>Yes, some colleges do ask for tons of self-identifying information and then they email you the result. I’m suspicious of where this information ends up - could it affect admissions decisions?</p>

<p>It is interesting the way some identity thieves work. They can buy much information about people online. Then, they can sometimes find out a mother’s maiden name from geneology sites. They can often find a birth date from geneology pages or someone’s facebook page. (That is why you should not include a birth year on facebook). They can also figure out a birth year by looking at your high graduation information. Once they have your birthday, they can actually guess at several digits of your social security number. In other words, they don’t need all of the information to come from one source.</p>
