Yes, the donut hole problem just got worse. They want the FGLI students, that helps diversity and their social mobility scoring but they need full pay students to enable that.

Or need blind will allow them to minimize the number of students getting free tuition.

Probably both

Int this good for DCUM families? If full pay or near it? So if you make over 200k you're chances increase and if you make less than 100k for a family of 4-5 then your also have a higher chance. Its the families between 100-200k that suffer.

Can a family making 200k pay 85K per year? I agree this benefits low income and full pay families I just question the income level where full pay is realistic

It’s not free tuition at $199k and full tuition at $201k. It’s just you will pay something towards tuition at $201k and then you gradually phase to full pay.

It’s also hard for families of 200k-300k with normal assets.

The fact is, parents should decide they would full pay or not before application. Whether the kids check the financial aid box or not is going to affect a lot. Just checking it and comparing later will make them lose many chances.

Sears also addressed the university’s decision to terminate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Emory, sharing that the debate over these closures had begun “months” before she took office.

Emory was always a school for tacky strivers. They are more brazen about it now.

I hope you’re feeling secure about where you and your kids attend(Ed) college. Why the hate? Everyone has their own journey and it’s up to them to make it a good one. Lots of people would love to have the opportunity to attend Emory, even you you’re not one of them.

It’s odd to say this when the school is so focused on premed/nursing and offers little in the way of engineering.

I guess premed kids can be strivers…though I thought most strivers were pre-professional.

If you need aid and do not check a box for them you are hosed.

I honestly don't have an issue with this. I am supportive of the concept of financial aid but the process has been horrible for years and truly needs to be revisited. They have no moral or legal obligation to be need blind. There are tons of schools out there. Going to a specific school is a privilege, not a right.

Pre med is pre professional.

Why run your mouth on here when you don't even understand the basics?0

You sound like a total dipshit.

Preprofessional means you are getting a job straight from undergrad.

Based on your definition then unless you are getting a PhD, everyone is pre professional.
