[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's fine for everyone to say the DH is an idiot, but how many kids do they have? What are their other expenses? Are they paying private school tuition for other students in the family currently? Etc. Yes, it's great to go to an Ivy, but not at the expense of other things or other people in the family. [/quote]
Also, if you don't have that much debt because you live frugally (not because you're wealthy), drive old cars, live in a modest house that's paid off or has a small mortgage, yet make slightly over whatever they consider the threshhold, you are not getting much, if anything, from an Ivy, and your "expected family contribution" is way more than in-state tuition. I don't remember if they consider what you're paying for other kids' tuition or not.  As far as FAFSA, you're getting the opportunity to borrow around $5K and nothing else. I'm not saying it's "not worth it," but it's ridiculous to say that it's compostable or less that in-state tuition in most cases. [/quote]

Not true. There was a $3K difference between VTech FA and the Ivy my DC will attend (not tippy top stats kid but unique and stood out).[/quote]
That's great for you. Was not true at all for me. [/quote]
