[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have thought that financial aid exists first and foremost for the people who need it most. Do kids really never get 100% fa or close to it ? I hope you are all wrong and that the kid gets in and gets a full ride. [/quote] None of the Big 3 give anywhere close to 50% FA - more along the lines of $10-15k of a $40k tuition bill. But maybe she has a husband with a job too? [/quote] GDS and Maret give less FA in the aggregate because their endowments are lower, but I am would think there are still some students who get over 50% in Financial Aid. At both Sidwell and St. Albans, which lead in this area for the average aid per student, there are certainly students who receive well over 50% in Financial Aid. I don't think anyone gets 100% aid -- it's the "skin in the game" concept -- but for some the percentage is very high if the parents have very low income.[/quote]
