<p>UR's FA page for incoming students now has a Net Price Calculator (required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008). It's includes an estimate of the amount of MERIT aid you might be able to expect.</p>
<p>University</a> of Rochester : Financial Aid Estimator for First-Year Students</p>
<p>I tried it out using D2's data and I found it to be pretty accurate--including its estimate of the amount of merit aid she received. </p>
<p>NOTE: when entering your student's profile for merit aid, note that there are more than academic credentials involved including ECs, geographic locale, community service, etc. Be sure to read ALL the requirements for each profile carefully.</p>
<p>This looks like a very useful tool for students and parents to use in guessimating UR's final sticker price.</p>
