<p>In all fairness – AU’s Net Price Calculator isn’t that informative or detailed. Other schools connect through Collegeboard and give you a pretty detailed breakdown based on your data. AU doesn’t use Collegeboard for theirs and it’s pretty bareboned.</p>
<p>That being said, it’s better NOT to apply ED to a school unless you’re prepared to pay full ticket. We received numerous emails from AU urging us to re-classify D2’s application for ED2 and we didn’t do it because we could never afford full fare.</p>
