Do some private colleges "sticker price" like car dealers?

<p>mommafrog–we also have a spreadsheet, created more out of a reality check for the kids than anything but it has been very useful. We have the full price listed along with columns for automatic merit aid, potential merit aid (DD is a recruited athlete and DS has some offers of “minimum” awards but not sure what the max is on that award) and what the NPC says. It’s the unknowns, the competitive scholarships, that will make the difference and we won’t know those for DS until Feb at least. He has invites to Scholar days at all the schools he applied to so hopefully he will get something. DD will have pre-reads done at all of her choices by Nov 1 so that will be nice!</p>
