[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the next 400 schools after the T20 are so great, why are they not good enough for applicants who require full subsidy?[/quote]

Because the majority of schools that meet full financial need are typically in the T25-50 schools.  So the really smart kids who require full subsidy smartly search for admission to a school that will meet their full need.  Not many schools ranked above 50 (and certainly above 100) that are meeting full needs.

Lower tier schools don’t provide merit aid? Something doesn’t seem to add up here. If the only thing standing between an under-resourced kid and exceptional performance is mere opportunity, why isn’t the community college pathway to progressively build resources the logical next step? Are we seriously saying that it’s only the Harvards and Dukes of academia that can unlock their potential?[/quote]

NP: the majority of under-resourced kids go to community colleges and directional colleges. A small percentage of under-resourced kids go to T20s because it's not even in their radar.[/quote]
