[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never attended one of these private schools with the massive need-based aid programs. Is it a weird dichotomy with basically only poor kids and rich kids and no real middle class?

I attended a state school so there were basically all types of kids, but lots of middle class. [/quote]

There is a lot of aid that goes to middle class families at a place like Princeton.  At Princeton middle class is poor.[/quote]

Not true. Our income is middle class but our assets are not. We had the audacity to save and live a lifestyle well within our limits. We ran Princeton’s NPC (as well as for other private schools) and it resulted in zero aid. [/quote]

I’m pp..,And let me add, my kid was very high stats including 1550 (no prep); NMF; valedictorian; 4.0/4.8 (5.2 upon graduating); high rigor); solid long term EC  including niche sport and instrument both at state level. [/quote]

Princeton does not award merit aid to anyone. So what do stats have to do with it?  Princeton will only award need based aid.

But with those stats a student can get merit aid at many institutions....but not princeton or any need blind ivy.  You were not singled out.  That is the case for every student.[/quote]
