This is the 2nd thread Ive seen today where people with simple financial situations have gotten very very very wrong results on schools’ Net Price Calculators.
If after speaking to FA managers (not just whoever answers the phones) I was still getting inadequate explanations about why the results were so wrong, I would start tweeting about it, posting screenshots of the Net Price Calculator inputted info and the Net Price Calculator results, tagging the school, detailing conversations, and generally embarrassing the schools for being dismissive about their grossly inadequate Net Price Calculators
It may not result in a satisfactory result for me, but it might move the school to improve their Net Price Calculator.
I have, on occasion, tweeted about particularly poor business practices, etc, and usually I get a positive resolution. Again, not saying that you’ll likely get more money, but the school will probably feel that they must correct their Net Price Calculator.
