[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How?  ED is the way to get full pay kids.  Penn gets 50% of the class in ED, Chicago gets 80% of the class through ED0 to ED2.[/quote]

Not true anymore for the top schools. ED is done by high needs, minimal parent financial contribution all the time. The counselors at the public magnet near us push ED for ivies for top-10%/top rigor kids (unless they want to go for REA) and are clear that if the NPC is not matched you argue it or back out. The top schools usually meet the NPC and then some. 
 80% of this high school gets need based aid somewhere, even if smaller amounts. This magnet sends a LOT to ivy+ schools with ED each year. There is also Questbridge for high-needs kids and these #s are counted in the ED total. ED is not at all majority full pay especially at these meets needs schools that give some need based aid up to 300k (Harvard Princeton Penn MIT Stanford Hopkins maybe a couple other ivies too). The top schools brag about and want to stay 55-60% on need based aid, and have been doing so for at least 4 years, when we did all of our tours.  They do not want too many full pay, partly since rankings count Pell, etc, and especially with the newer endowment tax fees. [b]Full pay is becoming a large negative![/b][/quote]

Lol.
Ok grandma. Have you seen the funding cuts at these schools?[/quote]
