[quote=Anonymous]You can look at the NPC at W&M (and every other school to compare financial aid packages)--we found they were VERY accurate when we put in our information accurately.  What you are unable to compare is merit aid.  So really the issue is not a class issue in terms of financial need since need-based financial aid is unaffected and you can see what each school determines is your financial need--and you can look at on their CDS to see how much of that tends to be loans etc.

I think the people who are most affected are UMC who don't have a lot of college savings (aka known as donut hole families) who would find it tightens their lifestyle to pay what the FAFSA and the colleges determine as their financial need and therefore want to compare merit aid packages not based on financial need.

Also, you can look at the impact of ED vs not for individual schools--look at the student profiles of who is admitted not percent admitted. Some schools it is a big advantage others it is not.  You can't go by averages.
