[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Harvard and Yale absolutely consider parental assets in determining need-based age through the student’s age of 28
[/b]
Our kid got into HLS last year, and our expected contribution was around $30k which we weren’t in position to pay since we still have an undergraduate (and they also gave him about $20k in need based aid). He took a full ride to another T6 school [/quote]

This is insane. What happens if you don't submit that financial info? Will they just auto-reject your app? What if a 26 year-old is estranged from their parents?

I'm guessing these schools are loathe to admit anyone over the age of 28 since they can't look through to the parents' finances. I'd love to see the admission data - I bet rejections skyrocket for anyone over age 28 (relative to those 21-27).[/quote]

If you don’t submit it, you’re not considered for any need-based financial aid

HLS offered my son $20k in need-based aid, but then expected us to contribute $30k

If parents don’t pay their expected contribution, students tack it onto their loans [/quote]
