[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure you gave already, but to others who may be interested, Harvard has very robust financial aid.  [/quote]

Yes, but not for many DMV upper middle class families who can't afford full pay. [/quote]

OP here. This is us. We are just at the edge salary wise and do NOT qualify for free money with FAFSA. But we live in the District and barely make our mortgage while trying desperately to save into our kids 529s. Our kids attend public high school. We have no public university option and rely on DC TAG which at 10K per year def helps but is no where near in state tuition. [/quote]

Even so, the schools you mentioned use css in addition to FAFSA and are far more generous. What is your hhi? Can you add a figure for "on the edge?" Princeton has some deep pockets. Assuming she could get in, which as another pp said will require a lot more than good grades/tests. Mine is headed to another Ivy. Had impressive ECs/talent portfolio, national awards, service etc. Acceptance rate was 3%. It's insane. [/quote]
