[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think that makes sense OP-and I say this as a parent of above average but not stellar kids who probably won’t get into these schools.  I just wish these state schools were more affordable for parents not making DCUM levels of money. In state VA schools for 2 kids can be upwards of 360k. It’s craziness. [/quote]

Both UVA and W&M meet 100% of needs in state[/quote]
There is a big gap between DCUM levels of money and however little a family makes to qualify for assistance. [/quote]

Usually it's as much as 120-130K where a student starts to qualify for aid at the two. Not sure I'd describe that as "little", and I'm not convinced families making more are in need of a slice of the institutional grant pie. [/quote

Our hhi is approx $120k and my son was offered a $5k grant at W&M, the most expensive public school in the country. He literally could have gone to any other state school for cheaper, with zero financial aid. Yes, those schools meet financial need, but you need to be practically [b]destitute [/b]for that to equal free tuition.[/quote]

Just untrue[/quote]
