[quote=Anonymous]If you use the Net Cost Calculator, for most schools, you will input financial data as well as GPA and other data that will help inform what kind of merit aid you might get at schools. When we did this we found it was pretty accurate. For us, the best merit brought the cost of an OOS flagship down to what our in-state schools cost (in VA). To give you a sense of what this looked like where my kid was accepted (all amounts are per year) Vermont - $20k UConn - $18k UMass - $16500 Minnesota - $10k Delaware - $10k Illinois - $0 The first three brought the cost down to equivalent or less than Virginia Tech. Those amount were also roughly what the calculator told us we could expect. We were surprised that DE and MN came in lower but they were definitely safeties and IL was a reach. [/quote]
