[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I believe DC had flyout offers from 4 schools, all of which offer great financial aid. DC is not hooked as far as I know, not first gen, not destitute, and definitely not a URM. But we are middle class and could not afford most schools without significant financial aid. We ran NPCs and targeted schools that would offer significant financial aid, which also happened to be very selective schools with huge endowments. Because we could not afford most schools, my participation in the process was necessary to the extent that I had to figure out which schools we could afford or not. Nor did we have the budget to hire a private advisor, etc. The whole college process these days is complicated and fraught with financial landmines, so I did what I could for DC.

I guess some people are questioning what I wrote, and I don't know what to tell those people. The EA/ED1/ED2/RD process can be complicated and stressful, and I thought my post might help. But I recognize that DC's RD results were extremely fortunate and not necessarily the norm, although I don't think they represent a dramatic outlier either. Still, I don't know why anyone would lie about such things. Anyhow, I value my and DC's anonymity, so I'm not going to provide any further details. You will have to believe or not believe me.[/quote]

Thank you, OP.  Appreciate you sharing your DC's story.[/quote]
