[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont know[b] why they don't stop charging tuition[/b]. Or move the FA limits up to 500k HHI and 3mm assets. so only 20% pay tuition. [/quote]

Princeton probably will, at least to get the number of tuition-paying students below 3,000. They aren’t that far off already.[/quote]

To make this work many schools on this list will have to abandon need-blind in making admissions decisions. Even the top schools need tuition revenue. Each school will need to figure out if its bottom line or net revenue is better if: 1) decrease the number of students, 2) increase the number of students on full aid for tuition and fees, or 3) pay the endowment tax.

This is a win for the enrollment management companies and their algorithms.[/quote]

This is why it makes sense in Princeton’s case though. About 3200 grad students, most of whom are PhDs or Wilson school students that go for free, and of 5700 undergrads, 62% of them are getting aid that on average is more than tuition. They can easily push below 3000 tuition payers if they aren’t already there.

There may be some others like Dartmouth. Probably will be much harder for schools that are bigger or reliant on MBA, JD, and other grad programs for revenue.[/quote]
