[quote=Anonymous][quote]+1. I know some of the Ivies and their peers offer free tuition if you're in a certain income bracket. Does anyone know if the wealthier SLACs do this?[/quote] Most of them do, yes. Many of them cannot afford to be 100% need blind because of the side of their endowments, so sometimes if a candidate is on the bubble they will go for the full pay candidate over the one who needs financial aid. But in general, the top tier LACs give financial aid to those admitted as per the FAFSA and CSS profile--i.e. demonstrated need. The tricky thing is that the "expected family contribution" as is calculated by FAFSA does not necessarily align with what an upper middle class family feels they can realistically and afford while being fiscally responsible.[/quote]
