I filled out a fafsa and it gave me an etc over 59k.

Then, I tried some NPCs for schools like Notre Dame and BC and got results like it costs 60k but my net cost would be about 31k.

Both of these were done using the same data as fafsa. No academic data were provided.

So I’m confused. I figured the only way my net price would be below my etc is if there was merit.

How should I interpret these results?
