<p>Has any current Cornell student had any experience with the Net Price Calculator? Was it accurate? I ask because given other like universities they do not seem very generous with aid.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>its fairly accurate. I got a little more than the estimator predicted.</p>
<p>For me too the calculator was pretty close, I got about 2000 more than what was calculated. It can also be changed depending on if you have extenuating circumstances.</p>
<p>Bump. I’m a high school senior who is considering applying to Cornell, and I’m also wondering how accurate the NPC @Cornell’s website is compared to the actual grant package you received. </p>
<p>DD financial aid package was about $4000 a year less than what the calculator predicted.</p>
<p>After the FAFSA was filled out and the identical numbers were put in the calculator it was still about $4000 less.</p>
<p>@ClassOf2015HS the calculator was not accurate for me. We are getting about 10-15,000 dollars less than anticipated (ie getting virtually no aid). Appealing didn’t work. Just be forewarned. </p>
<p>If you fill it out right, it should be VERY close (mine was almost exactly what the final package was)</p>
<p>Its pretty accurate, ( plus or minus a thousand or two )</p>
