[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And no, your kid didn't get a scholarship because they are brilliant. It is because you can't afford full pay. I love the grandmas who brag that their grandchild got a scholarship to an Ivy. Awesome that junior got into an Ivy, but they didn't get a scholarship because they are more special than the other kids there.[/quote] This^ while many kids can't attend even they get accepted because their parents can't afford to pay.[/quote] At our school last year 6 kids got into various Ivies. 4 ended up going to flagship, one out of state somewhere else with lots of merit. The only one who went to the Ivy was the student from a poor family who qualified for financial aid. I feel like it's pretty indicative of how things are going for Ivies with a wide divide: rich, poor and nothing in between. So when I hear someone is at an Ivy these days, or didn't go, I always think there is a huge financial piece to it.[/quote]
