Well, I believe collegeboard just uses the formula the college supplies, and colleges are supposed to have their own not public method, but not really sure. College Board certainly does not do this independently of the college, they cannot.

No, Brown and Dartmouth should be very similar, not so far apart. It sounds like user error to me. I am trying to think of the outliers that could occur. I would think those outliers may be on the very high end of income and assets for need aid. Like second home, or Brown having a lower cutoff for need aid, say 150k vs 175k families? I would not be surprised if Dartmouth was a tad more generous, but not 37k more for most situations.

You might like to ask this in the financial aid forum, as some posters there really dig into this sort of question.
