[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know quite a few people who turned down Ivy's. Not everybody wants to go to those schools.[/quote] Then why apply to them?[/quote] My kid applied in hopes to get some money. I know they don't give merit based scholarships and we were not qualified at all for financial aid. We saved for each child enough to cover in-state tuition, but the child would have to take the loan to cover the rest of the cost in Ivy. Turned out, one of the schools, UPenn, did offer some money in a form of grant. But it was one year deal vs. a full scholarship from another top (not Ivy) school, so she turned that offer down as well. You truly never know where you are going to be accepted. [/quote]
