Need Financial Aid Guru to Explain NPC Variance

The results you got don’t look surprising to me at all.

BUT be alerted…since you are divorced and remarried, and there is also a non-custodial parent, the net price calculators will only be a decent estimate IF they actually ask about your marital status, AND get info from the non-custodial parent where required. Otherwise…don’t really expect them to be accurate in your situation.

Yes…schools consider home equity in different ways. Yes, some schools consider non-custodial parent and some don’t. Yes, some schools count ALL of the parents and step parents.

If the college has a net price calculator of their own on their website…use that…but again…accuracy will depend on the breadth of questions asked.
