[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's an over priced rich kid school? [/quote]

Is it so bad if it has a high % of UMC students? The class is still highly qualified. [/quote]

[b]Personally, I don't view need aware schools highly. Their endowment is more than enough to be need blind, which means that they are choosing to be a rich kid school. It's their right, but it also effects how their viewed[/b] [/quote]

Their endowment is not large for a school with multiple graduate professional schools (med, vet, dental, IR, nutrition) and an engineering school. Not all the endowment can be used for undergraduate students/programs.

The full tuition paid by well-to-do families is used to provide financial aid to other students.  Of all the financial aid offers that my kids received, Tufts' was the most generous.  That isn't unusual. There are lots of kids from well-off families there but there are also lots of kids from not-well-off families.  This is based on first-hand experience.
