[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of rich kids at all the top schools. Who do you think is making the donations and paying full freight?

It's the tradeoff.[/quote]

That doesn't matter at all at the better schools with their multi-billion dollar endowments.

More important for them is getting the best students who are likely to become influential and prominent two decades later. Princeton etc doesn't give a damn about your full pay tuition check. It funds the coffee, maybe. Meanwhile, getting that brilliant middle class student on aid gets them a $100 million donation twenty years later.

It's only the very middling private schools that need the full pay money to get through the year.  [/quote]

I am not sure this is true given the discussions of how the absence of full pay foreign kids is a problem.

And the idea that full pay kid can’t be brilliant or big donations are only from the kids on loans is false.  Each could be true but the hyperbolic generalization does not do anything to move an actual nuanced conversation forward.[/quote]

Agree. 💯 
Best student isn’t only about stats.

There’s something going on with some of these schools where they have become grinder environments. And anlumni, donors snd even current families are pushing back. Are they admitting the wrong students?

That’s the whole point of holistic admissions.
