Brown NPC, how it is possible to swing from 15K to 87K for aid?

The number from Jul 2025 was 15.6K and I was cristising Brown for being stingy.

Now I got 86.7K using similar number. (200K income, 30K income tax, 100K each parent, 20K saving and 300K assets from 2nd home)

This is crazy. How it is possible? System glitch?

I think the system has glitch. Even 500K income gives same aid.

Brown’s NPC has been extremely glitchy for us. I can get random numbers out of it with tiny perturbations. It’s the most finicky of all the NPCs that I’ve used.

Yeah, I ran the Brown NPC last week & got a net price of under $10k (every other school is between $40-70k with the same inputs). Something is seriously off.

It appears that something is very wrong with the calculator. I suggest contacting the school.
