[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivy/Private admissions has lot of other factors apart from school. Legacy, Financial situation, scholarship. Many W school parents can afford to send DC to Ivy and private colleges.[/quote]

Er no. [b]Ivy schools offer full financial aid to all eligible students. Financial situation is irrelevant - they are needs blind admissions/[/b]

What W school parents can afford is not a reflection on their kids getting offered places in these schools. How can you not already know this?[/quote]

Wait what?  Ivy schools give a full ride to everyone accepted?  Or they give a full ride to everyone accepted with certain stats?  I'm confused...[/quote]

Reading comprehension, please. PP said 'full financial aid to all eligible", not "everyone accepted".

They look at the applicants not considering their ability or inability to pay (at least, in theory). So, yes, what you can and can't afford has no relevance to your kid getting in. Once accepted, the kid's family income needs to be below a certain point for a full ride.

That said, there are partial scholarships for kids even from middle-class families.[/quote]
