Another question: How accurate is the Net Price Calculator? Is there any chance that the Net Price Calculator indicates you're eligible for aid, but your actual financial aid package is zero?

I can tell you we were not if that's helpful. AGI is 120k - and we live in nyc so we pay about 35k in taxes. Take home 85k. But the apartment we bought 20 years ago now worth 1.5mm. 2 kids in college.

We were eligible but only received about $16k. AGI 212k, about 350k in home equity and no other major assets. NPC was off by less than $2k.

How are you going to afford it?

As a Georgetown alumna, it’s embarassing they could not help you. Which schools did you find to be the most generous?

Do you have other kids also in college?

That no longer matters, at any school.

I worked at Georgetown for 8 years and the benefits were atrociously terrible. So it seems fitting that the FA is likewise stingy.

No, this is our oldest. And she will be attending Williams (for $30k less than Georgetown!)

oh, we couldn't afford it! at all. my kid - for whom the SFS was his #1 dream - was even like, this is crazy.

I have two kids now at HYPSM and we pay about 60k a year for both. We did cash out 150k in home equity, but we pay the rest out of cash flow and modest 529s.
