Does anyone here have experience with Duke's net price calculator? I'm trying to get a grasp of costs, and I'm a little stuck. Could you walk me through the process?
Certainly! Here's a brief step-by-step rundown on using Duke University's net price calculator:
1. Visit Duke University's website. On their main page, you'll find an "Admissions & Aid" tab. Hover over this and a drop-down menu will appear. Select "Financial Aid and Scholarships."
2. On this new page, you'll find a "Net Price Calculator" link. Click on this link to access the calculator.
3. Once there, you'll need to provide information about your family's income, your academic record, and some additional factors like home ownership and savings. Be prepared to provide accurate financial details as this will be crucial in estimating the amount of aid you may receive.
4. The calculator will prompt you to input your financial information such as your parent's income and taxes, your income and taxes (if applicable), as well as details about assets such as savings, investments, and home equity.
5. Next, you'll fill in details about your household size, and the number of children in college. This is critical as it might impact the calculation of your financial aid.
6. After you've completed all the required fields, click on the "Calculate" button.
Remember that this is an estimate and it is not an official offer. The only way to receive an official financial aid offer is to apply and get accepted to Duke. The purpose of the calculator is just to give you an approximate idea about the potential costs.
