<p>Are schools with scholarship deadlines including that mention in the NPC estimate?</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Simmons College NPC is pretty accurate. Overestimated merit aid by $3k (as the value of the scholarship was different), but grant aid was exact.</p>
<p>I saw it was already posted, but nobody commented on it.</p>
<p>Overestimated merit aid by $3k (as the value of the scholarship was different)</p>
<p>That can be significant, that’s why I don’t like it when schools put merit in NPC estimates unless the amounts are assured. A $3k shortfall can make or break affordability for some folks.</p>
<p>I guess it can be significant, however I think it might have been a miscommunication somewhere. On their website the scholarship (Presidential) was clearly listed as being $12k/yr, while the NPC listed the same scholarship as being $15k/yr. There was a Dean’s Scholarship available for $15k/yr so maybe the college lowered the value of the Presidential but the NPC wasn’t updated.</p>
<p>However, I ended up getting a special grant that covered the difference. </p>
<p>Then again, many of my classmates aren’t sweating $3k (which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable sometimes but mostly grateful that the college is footing most of the bill compared to being nearly full pay like a lot of girls.)</p>
<p>

<p>I would think unweighted. Miami OH makes this clear (H.S. GPA (4.00 scale)), not sure who else does.</p>
