[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]

Exactly.

We make 350k/year and have one kid in private. No financial aid or assistance from family. It can be done. [/quote]
