[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that schools want to ensure they get a good mix of candidates and those whose parents fall in the middle might choose not to even bother applying otherwise.  Getting some small % of financial aid takes the sting out, enough to make it worthwhile to apply.  this results in a more balanced student body.  This is just a guess!  We are not getting financial aid.  So I don't really know. But it doesn't bother me.  I'm sure the schools have a system that works and it's not really everyone's business to be mad or judgy.  (well, maybe it's DCUM's business ha)[/quote]

+1. It’s also recognizing financial reality. A family making $150-200k probably can’t swing a $50-60k tuition. A family making $250-300k would struggle to do this for more than one kid, etc. If the schools want these kids this is what they have to do.[/quote]

No, it’s all about lifestyle choices. [/quote]

That’s what you tell yourself. The schools are interested in getting kids enrolled, especially if they pay most of the full price, so they deal with the reality that families are facing.[/quote]
