Then you should receive financial aid for sure. I think op is talking about people that live in million dollar homes and don't want to sacrifice that lifestyle as others do. Btw people do know who receives aid - not sure how but they do. I realize homes in many neighborhoods begin at 1 million but I think op is saying they should sacrifice and move to a less expensive neighborhood etc… so that FA money can go to people that truly need it. Op, what schools are you referring to? I hope at our Big 3 this isn't the case or I will definitely stop contributing. As we sacrifice to pay full tuition and ALSO sacrifice to contribute to FA fund.

You're right.  This post is inspired by the post about the woman who was dreading telling her DC that they could no longer afford private school.  Then it turned out they could afford it, they just did not want to take equity out of their house.[/quote]

Right. I know a family applying for financial aid to our big 3 and I know for a fact from them that they have more equity and college savings than we do and we are not only paying full tuition but also contribute to the fa fund. I hope they don't receive financial aid, as I think that money could go to other children that truly need it.[/quote]
