@gallentjill here is the issue…schools do not have the same financial resources, or formulas for computing need based aid. They have different criteria for awarding merit aid. Some schools meet full need for all…most don’t. Some schools are need blind for admissions…and some aren’t. Some practice enrollment management and some don’t.
Your sentence quoted above is not ever going to happen because of the wide variation in all things related to financial aid and different colleges.
BUT…those net price calculators can tell you an approximate net cost for each college if you have simple income and finances.
@ucbalumnus are you suggesting that the schools should just have all the questions on the Profile…if the use it…on their net price calculators? Sorry, but I don’t agree.
