[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This hypothetical question doesn't exist in real world.  If you can get in T10, many (so many) SLACs will give you a full ride.  Williams being the most generous, but Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona, ..., all give out generous aids like there is no tomorrow.  [/quote]

Yes, but only if you qualify for it financially.  How much is the max a family can make and still get full aid at WASP?  Probably $200K or $250K.  For a family with other children, perhaps with special needs, or with dependent aging parents, it could be a hard to turn down free.

I do agree, however, that outside the top 100 seems a big jump.  Seems there would be schools in the T30-99 that would also give v generous merit aid to a T10-admitted student [/quote]

There are.

My kid was deferred/WL/rejected at all T30's they applied to.  They got $42K/year at a T50 bringing costs to ~$40-45K/year.  They had a T70 that would only cost $50K.  
They found all of that and we were not searching merit---kid is attending a T40 at $90K/year because we can afford it and they liked that school better than the T50

But for a kid qualified for a T10, they can find great merit just a step or two down, don't need to go to 100+[/quote]
