[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big difference between the top publics' exmissions and the top privates' exmissions? Family finances. Step out of your bubbles, won't you, and take a look at the realities facing families who aren't already shelling out $35k/year for private school. Your average two-govt worker family with a household income of $200k faces the following facts: - None of the Ivies offers merit aid. None of the Ivies. - The $200k HHI family won't qualify for any financial aid. - The $200k HHI family will probably be hard put to pay the full $60k/year Ivy/private university tuition. - UMD and UVA look like bargains by comparison. - Early decision boosts your acceptance chances dramatically, but it's a game for families that can lock into a school without waiting to see the financial aid award. Why you guys can't see this is mystifying. Welcome to the real world.[/quote] EXACTLY. Pull the scales from your eyes, people. Right here, here is your story.[/quote]
