[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those schools are losing hundreds of millions in cuts so I doubt they will give you anything.[/quote]

And their endowments have taken the same market hit as op. Plus they are eyeballing possible taxes on their endowments.

You can always ask, but I wouldn’t expect anything more than empathy. [/quote]
These schools need to stop forcing parents to subsidize other people and drops prices across the board[/quote]

during an accepted students yale info session, they said it costs them 140k a year per student. so everyone is subsidized to one extent or another. and full pay aren't paying for any other student. [/quote]Then they should raise the prices to $140k/yr , no finaid. let the market decide.[/quote]

Agreed. As a donut hole person I am very bitter about the whole thing. Made huge sacrifices my whole life to be fiscally responsible and save and I get nothing. People saved nothing to take fancy trips and drive ridiculous cars and [b]have more kids than they can afford[/b] and they are getting money left and right. I don't think there should be allowances for multiple kids - shouldn't have had more kids than you could afford. I am more supportive of helping those who truly have need but that bar has crept up a lot. If you can't afford it, go to State U and let your the next generation prosper.[/quote]

Source? 
Whom? Who is getting money left and right?? They got into a HYP.[/quote]

So much complaining about schools that are a "lottery ticket" for admissions anyhow.  
If you are a "donut hole person", yes you can afford to save for college.  Maybe you cannot do $90K/year but you likely can do instate/$40K/year.  That is so much more than 80% of the USA.  
Do you also complain that "it's not fair that my neighbor can afford a BMW/Mercedes, but I can only afford a Toyota"?  You live with your life choices and focus on making yourself fiscally responsible.  
It's not your choice how Harvard decides to give money.  You are not entitled to aid from them....they get to choose. Be glad you have the opportunity to pay for $40K/year and not be financially strapped---much better than living on $100K/year and oh if you get into Harvard, most of it will be paid for.  Because outside the T25, that isn't the case...that person won't be applying to a 30-40 ranked school that is $90K, because they cannot afford it
