Belknap, I did and I received around $16,100 as total estimated gift aid and about $37,000 estimated net price.

Was that $16,100 merit aid, need-based, or a combination? Many schools give much lower aid to transfers as opposed to entering freshman. Does USD’s NPC make that distinction? If not, that might be where part of the confusion comes from. The numbers in your first post are just for spring semester 2016, right? And if you ran the NPC and it showed you with a net cost of $37,000 (presumably for a full academic year), how were you planning on paying that?
