[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, money is no issue if he gets into any Ivy except Cornell, or Stanford, Chicago, or MIT.  All of these schools are 100% need blind and all will cover undergrad tuition, room, board, and fees -- without student loan debt.  At all of these schools, not even 1/4 of the students are being billed 100% of the maximum tab.  Please call their aid offices and do some homework before sending him to Alabama --

need blind is not the same as 'what we would comfortably want'.

my youngest sister went to a 100% need blind school that covered everything that was considered as  our 'family need' with 100% grant money (no loans)....but they still asked our family to pay 80% of the cost. And we are a middle-middle class family that lives in a 'shit box' house from a crappy town in the north east.

it's the classic middle-class squeeze by schools. if you are  middle class, saved a shitload, didn't take vacations, drove 15 year old cars, bought small houses with a tiny 10 year mortgage, you are going to get fucked by any 'needblind' school.

need blind is dependent on what a formula considers is your need, not what you feel your need is. [/quote]
