Our daughter had applied ED in 2013. NPC calculation was within $500. This year it was within $1000 of received aid (although the amount of aid was much different compared to previous year but still in line with our increased income).
I’ve seen some people complaining NPC gives wrong estimations compared to final aid from Wellesley but I think if you put in all your data right (and Wellesley will be checking later on! so don’t forget any savings, etc.) you will get a good estimate of upcoming aid.
