[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be honest elite private colleges follow the full-pay gravey train. The will send their representatives to Greenwich, Potomac etc as opposed to middle class and rural areas. Thus restricting the number of admits from poor areas. The preference to private schools is shameful and allows wealthier families to game the system.[/quote] Sorry, you are just wrong. The T20 schools have the best/ most financial aid. They are looking for the best students, many of whom have been honed from birth via $$ investment, including private schools. They are also looking for diamonds in the rough, students who show very high promise despite a clear lack of investment and support. Donut hole kids -- from middle class and upper middle class families -- do not get much attention here. Below the T20, especially for private colleges, aid is not as extensive and the focus on full-pay students because they are full pay is more intentional. [/quote]
