[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that society and the workplace need to change when it comes to this: Excellent students now pick in-state or lesser-known schools simply because of tuition costs. It doesn't mean they are less deserving. But it's still very much 45+yos hiring and that segment had it easier and cheaper so they do not all get it.[/quote]

Ivy was far cheaper than UVA in state for ours, and a little cheaper than the T16-20 ranked privates that gave DC aid. We get need based aid and ivies are a great deal. It is less than 25k per year for us. UVA gave us only a small amount of beed based aid. [/quote]

That's great but you knew that wasn't what I meant. A lot of kids are in that limbo of not qualifying for a lot or any aid and not having wealthy parents. [/quote]

Nope not buying it is “not having wealthy parents” when ivies give need aid to families with HHI in the low to mid 200s. Come off it that’s rich . Ok so 250-260+ is about the lowest HHI that can get some aid. So what?? That’s easily full pay level for one kid, and for many if you have half a brain and saved 20k each year for some years. And yes DMV and people like us in that range (upper 200s) are full pay and fine. Not poor. Not in limbo. We are rich. We just spend it on an ivy education because we know what the name of an elite college can do and we know the difference in education [/quote]
