[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bummer deal. I am sure it is these endowments and donations that are paying for my exceptional, poor, white kid's education at his university of this type of a caliber.[/quote]

Ton of middle class kids also choose publics because of money.  Poor White kidswill be fine anywhere.[/quote]

Except my kid goes to school for free at his school whereas my poorly regarded state school will cost him $12K a year. My earlier point stands where I do not begrudge legacy admissions or admission through donations because it helps my family- which at the end of the day is what we are all seeking to do... forwarding the best interests of our children.[/quote]

Your kid should get $48k loan like my kid.
Uour kid is not special and no reason to be treated special.

The top universities don't offer loan-based financial aid. It's all grants. And it comes out of the enormous, multi-billion dollar endowments that these schools have. It's not Biff and Buffy that are supporting middle class students at Princeton and similar. It's generations of good investment decisions.

No one should be taking out loans to attend private universities. [/quote]
