[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“No college is taking a student because he is low income. He’s accepted to the college based on his hard work and given aid to attend. He has nothing to do with your child not being accepted or not being offered any scholarships.”

1. Low income is indeed part of what someone may be accepted to a college given USNWR gives you bumps for number of tell grant kids. [/quote]

But no one is getting admitted who is not unqualified.  No one is getting admitted solely because they are poor.  Colleges may feel that a kid who grows up with the handicap of poverty but still excels is a stronger candidate than someone with the same stats but has been given every opportunity.  Do you not get that?  Or do you just not want to?

More importantly - most of the elite schools we are talking about here are need blind.   So on those you are wrong twice.

[quote]2. Of course financial aid kids impact those not getting financial aid. The latter are being asked to cross subsidize the former through higher tuition. [/quote]

Wrong again!  In need blind schools there is no correlation, admissions are done independently from financials and then the financial aid budget is doled our but a completely separate group.  It has way more to do with endowments than current income from tuitions.  Learn how this works before you post again.[/quote]
