[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People see some kid getting full FA an Ivy and think, “Wow, poor people are so lucky.” What they don’t see is that A) that kid would be taking out loans to go to a state school if they hadn’t gotten into that Ivy and B) Most poor kids are in community college.[/quote] Yes but 1) Ivy don’t give loans any more, so FA is all grants and 2) oftennthose donut hole families have a SAHM or mom doing a creative field like interior design or something, which is way more fun and flexible than the dual GS14 family who won’t get any aid. In both cases we are talking about kids who were accepted to Ivy, who worked hard, so no idea why you talk about state schools. [/quote] Because the lucky few poorer kids who get into Ivies get significant financial aid. The ones who don’t or just miss the cut can barely afford state schools. [/quote]
