[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes you think that what is driving me is not an actual desire to see a fair utilization of the scarce resource of financial aid?  What makes you think that my 'judgment' is not based on solid information?!

If you are comfortable that your need is real, then don't worry.  I would think you would be happy to see that the process by which aid is allocated is examined and discussed, so that real need is addressed.  I certainly never questioned any inquiry into my family's financial situation when I was on financial aid.

Your judgement is not based on solid information because you don't know exactly who gets financial aid, how much they get, and why.

I am positive that the process by which aid is allocated is fully vetted by both the external company all the schools use to pore over W2s and other financial information/forms and the schools that ultimately decide on the aid. These schools care about every dime they are giving families. I'm sure they spend an incredible amount of time and resources making these decisions. They know what kind of car, house, vacations etc all the FA recipients have/take. Many of these FA officers have been doing this for 10, 20 years. What makes you think you have some inside knowledge or "judgement." The people who have all the information are examining and and discussing FA. I don't think it needs to be done on this forum.[/quote]
