Non-elite schools =/= state schools

<p><a href=“Net Price Calculator”>https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculator&lt;/a&gt; suggests that, for a family in California of 3 with 1 in college, parental income of $125,000 to $150,000 but no assets would result in a net price of $17,100 to $19,600. Of course, throwing in assets, would increase the net price, but adding more family members, particularly those in college, would decrease the net price. So we may not know what Harvard students and their parents are actually paying, due to not knowing the full financial-aid-relevant financial details, but the Harvard net price calculator makes it easy to try “what if?” scenarios with Harvard financial aid.</p>
