[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was absolutely floored yesterday to hear this not only said aloud by the person presenting but repeated. I thought it was a joke until she repeated it.

The words were - "I tell parents the one thing that will get their kid into college is staying married"

So all these colleges are woke about everything else but it's still cool to throw shade at family status?[/quote]

If this is true that seems weird to say in a tour.  Usually they train the tour guides so everyone can see themselves there.

I would be curious if from a financial aid perspective at both need blind and need aware schools how that plays out.  I know years ago my friend’s dad had remarried and both he and the step mom had white collar jobs making good money while the mom had primary custody and didn’t make much.  Had the college included dad, step mom, and mom’s salary no way would they have gotten enough aid to make it happen.  It was need blind admissions so needing aid did not impact admissions.[/quote]
