A couple of thoughts…
- Princeton does have a good net price calculator in terms of info asked for.
- The net price calculator isn’t what “leaves others in the dust”. Princeton has extremely generous need based aid. That’s just a fact.
- Biggest challenge...getting accepted to Princeton. That’s not a slam dunk for anyone.
Let’s put it this way…almost everyone who tries the Princeton NPC finds the net cost IF they attend Princeton to be less than at many other colleges.
My advice to folks is always the same…ONLY look at that net price calculator result with the realization that acceptance to the college has to come first.
If you are looking at accuracy…don’t assume the results of the Princeton NPC will be matched by most other colleges…because it won’t be.
