[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this thread: Broke middle class who clearly don't know what it's like to have real money. Being able to send your children to their favorite college is one of lives greatest joys. The way you all talk about "worth" as it relates to education is such a low-class outlook.[/quote]

[b]Broke middle class does fine. For those broke middle class kids who get into an Ivy, FA such that it makes no sense to go elsewhere. (Cornell is a possible exception to this rule.)  From experience, Ivy FA is significantly better than some of the 10-20 schools. [/quote][/b]
incorrect. The cut-off for guaranteed loans is so low that Mose families reading here will not get any aid. We’re MC and d Ed oerstely needed assistance due to other extraneous costs but HYP ( actually every school) gave us zero. Fill out the FAFSA first to fine out where you really stabs. And don’t believe the bull about 65 percent getting aid. First if all there is no “average “ student. Most pay full fright OR are on significant Sid. When you add that up and divide I. Hal’s you get a weird statistic that college administrators use to be able to say @ rmthe average student gets $$ per year.  The other truck colleges use is to say 80 percent of our students get aid but included in that number us the routine !5500 loan which everyone gets if their files the FAFSA. So the marketing figures do not reflect reality.  Finally, even if FAFSA indicates your income is less than $100K a year and you are entitled to significant aid, that amount subtracted from the 80k still comes up with a number that cannot be beat by in-state tuition.  That happened to us -even with $26K merit scholarship, instate was still less prestigious and less expensive.[/quote]
