Can anyone tell me how accurate UVA’s Net Price Calculator is?
Thank you!
I don’t know. However, in general, the more questions that are asked, and the more specific the questions, the more likely it is that a calculator will be accurate.
Keep in mind that almost all of the aid provided by UVa is need based for lst year undergrounds.
I was curious so I just filled it out. The calculator is saying that my son will get over $19,000 in grants, which includes almost $5,000 of a Pell Grant. I know for a fact that my EFC will not give us this type of aid (unfortunately) based on what we got last year, and we do not qualify for any Pell Grants. For some reason, the estimator seems way off right now. I can only dream that we would get that type of aid, but looking at what we got from UVA the last two years (just loans) I highly doubt it’s even remotely accurate.
