[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oy - PP. you haven’t been to UVA recently. I would venture to say it’s mostly public schools kids ... [b]and probably less than 50% come from wealthy households. [/b][/quote]

Disagree there.  Even in-state tuition is super pricy compared to say [b]Florida[/b] where it is $4500-6000.

OOS kids aren't getting much aid.  They don't meet anywhere near close to EFC.  [/quote]

Who wants to go to Florida?  In-state Virginia is a fantastic deal compared to $75K a year for most privates.  I thank God every day for the Virginia universities.  All three went.  when our last started at UVA tuition was only $16,000 a year.  The delta with the privates was more than $45,000.  UVA takes in students from 153 countries and all 50 states.  No one at prestigious, top flight schools are getting any merit aid anymore.  The only merit aid my DD was offered was from schools you've never even heard of.  You don't even say what kind of aid.  I think you are the mother who complained last year about UVA not meeting EFC but unfortunately for you cross posted on collegeconfidential about what was your true financial situation.  State schools have a different mission than privates which many people seem to forget.[/quote]

Almost forgot what forum I was reading ...But my DD gets some $$ from Chicago. They do pledge to meet the financial need of each admitted family. 
So, not merit aid, but aid nonetheless (we are middle class). [/quote]
