[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly all of this conversation about how I saved and others didn't is just a narrative that people want to keep spreading to keep poor people out of these selective schools. Thankfully schools like Rice are onto this and they know full well like other schools that if this country doesn't get all of its populations (URM, poor, immigrant) participating in our economy to their fullest potential, we as a country are DOOMED. Higher ed is a part of that equation.

If you make a decision that you want to save and pay full freight great. Just do it. What does that decision have to do with anyone else's situation? Be happy you have $2M in assets and move on with your life.

If you understand the economics around college costs you would know that you aren't paying the full cost of tuition at these private schools anyway. That's why schools have endowments and they can do what they want with them.[/quote]

Please shut up. Poor kids get free rides if their grades are good enough. Giving over 50% financial aid to people up to $200K (who are basically wealthy) is actually going to take away more scholarships to poor URM’s and bring in middle class whites and Asians with top scores. [/quote]
