[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a school administrator, I occasionally hear OP's comments from a parent about another family.  I cannot ever comment on any family's situation.  But what the school knows is a lot more than what you think you know about any given family.  I know about the lost job, the medical debt, the company paying the rent on a house the family doesn't actually own, the car that was a gift from a grandparent, etc.  [/quote]

This depends entirely on the school. At Landon, the FA is done totally by computer and there is a separate person in charge of FA - meaning someone who meets with people who are forthcoming about applying and receiving it, not someone who supervises or verifies or even whose involvement deters anyone from being dishonest. The process is completely online. At smaller schools, the admissions person usually also deals with FA so if you know about specific family situations etc I’m assuming that’s where you are coming from. Speaking only for Landon, the two hands don’t speak to eachother and everything is done by computer so that and the separation is a real asset to anyone looking to game the system. And who knows if they do![/quote] [/quote]
