<p>I believe MommyDearest13 posted the explanation of how to fill out the NPC (Net Price Calculator) from Harvard’s website. That would be the most accurate information of how Harvard calculates. To me this says that you fill out the CSS and Noncustodial CSS according to the CSS instructions (which includes all incomes bio & step) - then Harvard subtracts out the step’s income and halves the assets as part of their own method to come up with Parental contribution. The NPC has shown some light on the heretofore “black box” of how Harvard calculates divorced/remarried situations.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t cross off Princeton. I believe they may be generous to combined families too.</p>
