[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its 32K and aid is offered based on need.[/quote] Sort of. The SAAS financial aid budget is a fixed dollar amount, about $1.4 million a year. The school’s own website admits it can’t meet the requested aid from applicants. This is not a knock on SAAS but very few private schools can pay out all the financial aid applicant would need to attend. I’m not even sure it’s “need blind” admissions—maybe it is, but again that is very rare in private schools. Either way SAAS should be commended for giving 40% of its students financial aid. [/quote] SAAS admission is need blind. I’ve been told this explicitly by the school. SAAS is to be commended for offering a rigorous education on par with the best in the area available to non-millionaires. At SAAS sports are about getting exercise and learning teamwork (you know, the things that games were always supposed to be about before the Type A parents ruined it for most kids).[/quote]
