[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is at Princeton. He was not pointy. Big public high school. Strong GPA, class rigor, test scores, etc. He played a varsity sport throughout HS, was in the audition-only jazz choir. Strong writer, enjoyed learning, good relationships with his teachers. Not a legacy, not a recruited athlete, not URM. We joke that maybe he got in because he was homecoming king.[/quote] Full pay?[/quote] Everyone at an ivy is full pay except those with low incomes. [/quote] Ivies and peers give some need aid to most who make under 200k gross household income. That is not low income, it is upper middle class. The big-need-$ is to the truly low income families, but ivies are very generous. For many average and below avg families Ivies are cheaper than their in-state flagship. Ivies have about half or more of their students on some amount of need based aid, thus less than half are full pay. [/quote]
