[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you get need based aid at $250k?[/quote]

Yes. Our DC got need based aid.[/quote]

Where was this?  That's almost unheard of at that HHI level, particularly anything over a nominal amount.  No one should think they might get need based aid with that income unless there are unusual circumstances at play (e.g. 3 kids in college at the same time).  We don't even make $200K and we still get an EFC of more than $60K.  [/quote]

Yes, 3 tuitions. We aren’t expecting this in two or three years.[/quote]

Sorry but this bothers me. Why should you get a break because you had multiple kids? But we don't get a break for living in a high COLA area and made the decision to forego more kids, more expensive purchases in life to save for the kids we have? 
This is the BS unfairness of this process.[/quote]

But one could argue that you chose to live in a high COLA area-- that's a choice too.[/quote]

But the PP's choices influence aid, mine doesn't. Both choices but only one is rewarded with aid. Why shouldn't mine? [/quote]
