[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard. Very hard to get into but dd did, our HHI was 200K and her total cost of attendance is 23K. That includes books, room, board and transportation. I have one other in college. [/quote]

That's absurd you got that much aid for an income of $200K when you easily could have saved 8-10K a year at least while kids were out of day care if you used day care.[/quote]

Just because you have an income that high during the aid calculation year doesn’t mean you had an income that high all along. [/quote]

No it doesn't and for many years we made half that but we made it priority to save for college so we can at least fully pay for a state school.[/quote]

Op here. Just because someone can pay for a state school, which is great, doesn't mean that they can't look at other opportunities that private schools provide that may end up being affordable as well. There are lot of different choices that people can make for different reasons and different prices. I don't think anyone has said that they deserve to go to a private school over a public school. I'm just looking at our different options as are other posters, so I'm not sure why you feel some people may have saved/not saved. The PP mentioned that Harvard was very generous to them so again I'm not seeing why you feel that this is a flaw with that family. This was a decision that Harvard made.[/quote]
