[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]any reason to think Yale will do this too?[/quote]

Yale is too large and has way too many professional school students to get out of the endowment tax in this manner. [/quote]

Yes, Yale is too big to do this.

But MIT (4576 students) and Dartmouth (4447 students) could pull it off.[/quote]

It’s not just undergrads, though. Grad students count toward the 3,000 too. Even if we assume that no academic grad students pay tuition, MIT has a large business school and Dartmouth has a med school and a business school.  Those students are all tuition-paying. Princeton is uniquely situated in that it has very few professional students and has a long-standing focus on FGLI that means a huge portion of its students already receive significant aid. [/quote]

DP. Yes, it is easier for Princeton. But MIT is only about 7600 undergrads and master’s students, many of which are not paying tuition (Sloan is about 1500). Dartmouth is under 6000 of the same (business and med are only around 1100). It’s just a question of how close to going below 3000 they already are.[/quote]
