[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Emory is one of the schools that includes home equity in its asset calculations, along with 401k amounts, that is why these programs don't benefit them.   [/quote]

Emory also doesn’t give sibling discount, which totally doesn’t make sense. [/quote]

While I support financial aid for low income students I think in the end these policies increase tuition and squeeze out middle class kids and the campuses end up with a weird mix of very poor and very rich kids and almost no middle class ones. [/quote]

I agree 100%. Though you are going to get pushback on your likely definition of "middle class". But universities used to have huge percentages of middle/upper middle class kids and since enrollment hasn't really gone up and the number of rich kids hasn't really changed, in order to free up space for the low income kids, the middle/upper middle class kids are getting squeezed. Some increase in low income was fine, but I think many schools have gone overboard on it.

As for the person who wanted a sibling discount, why? Shouldn't have had more kids than you can afford to put through college. Making babies is a financial decision. Don't count on someone else funding your kids.[/quote]
