[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the next 400 schools after the T20 are so great, why are they not good enough for applicants who require full subsidy?[/quote]

Because the majority of schools that meet full financial need are typically in the T25-50 schools.  So the really smart kids who require full subsidy smartly search for admission to a school that will meet their full need.  Not many schools ranked above 50 (and certainly above 100) that are meeting full needs.

Not exactly what was stated.  But if they don't get full financial aide somewhere, they will likely end up at CC while working PT and then transfer to a 4 year state school if lucky.

For the life of me, I don't understand why MC/UMC people are so jealous/upset that some underprivileged kid who has grown up in rough circumstances might get to attend a good college and have their financial needs met.  This could completely change their (and their family's ) trajectory in life.  Ultimately that means it will cost you less in taxes than the alternative.
