<p>Vla…yes…the NPC results can…and do vary from college to college. That is why it is important to do them for EACH college under consideration. Schools like Stanford and Princeton have much more generous policies for,awarding need based aid than most other colleges. If all you completed was Stanford’s NPC, you could end up being very disappointed with the aid provided by a school that has less deep pockets and does not meet full need for all accepted students.</p>
<p>And my caution is…those NPC should be used as an estimate only.</p>
