What is your HHI? If les than 250k, you may get aid at some schools. If you are well outside of that in terms of income, you should not be shut out of anywhere financially. |
Most top tier schools either don't count it, or they cap it (eg 1.5 or 2 times income). Try the net price calculator with different home equity amounts to confirm. Also, we were surprised hiw some factor it. I did not think Smith would be as generous as NPC figure, since they do consider at unlimited or 2-3x income. I can't remember which. |
You can't base your class standing off the wealthiest of the wealthy. You may feel MC, but that doesn't make it so. We're doing it on 150k with 2 kids, 2nd headed to college this fall. If you're 300k is MC, does that make us? poor? What about my friend on 75k with one kid? Super poor? Questbridge is under 70k. 300k is not MC. UMC, maybe. But, you are doing pretty well, my friend. |
I'm a teacher and sending my kid to college on a 58K income. Yep, that's what teachers make in some states. |
are you getting any aid? |
Yeah, that's a total lie. https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/economy/how-much-you-need-to-be-in-the-top-5-in-every-state/ |

false. |
How is it false? If you choose an. Pensive home, vacations and lifestyle and scream poverty to get aid when someone else on the same salary manages to save, you don’t see the issue. |
