No real penalty for applying to multiple schools Early Decision or SCEA?

<p><<<
An acknowledgement can be added to to the ED application that says, “I have run the NPC and this is the expected aid amt $____.”</p>

<p>??? someone could just write in a very high expectation.</p>

<p>@ucbalumnus‌ That won’t work. A person can run the NPC using phony numbers (leaving out assets or some income or ???), then save the results. </p>

<p>If someone wants to game the system and keep options open, they’re not going to provide/save accurate NPC info if that is going to be used later on. </p>

<p>And, anyone can open another CSS Profile acct, put in real info to get a real estimation, and the school would have no way to link that. </p>
