[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty sure [b]merit[/b] is a given. The standards are just so high now. Otherwise, what pp’s have said, plus some exceedingly wealthy foreigners. [/quote] There's no merit aid at Ivy league colleges. There is only Financial Aid.[/quote] So true. My friend's kid got into one, he was valedictorian at a large high school, state ranked athlete, captain of two sports teams, started a charity in 7th grade, the best grades and test scores it's possible to get, fluent in a difficult foreign language. Tons of volunteer time with food banks. Not one dime of scholarship money. [b]His parents will pay the full 300k. [/b][/quote] Because they can. [/quote] Otherwise it would be a poor choice of college when merit scholarships would have been given most anywhere else with better undergraduate teaching.[/quote]
