Not true at all. They would have to fill out FA forms + would be denied. We had $225 HHI + were denied for 1 kid.

Who knows. We make that much, but after taxes, mortgage on pretty basic house we only bought this year (saving up till then) and 3 tuitions, there isn’t much left.



Poor baby.

OP here. Not a troll. They don't want to pay $50K so they figure they'll see if the school will discount it. I bet a lot of people do this.

Also, do schools that into account savings? if you have cash in the bank ($500k?) can you still get aid?

No. But I can see how it would allow them to claim that a high percentage of families are receiving aid.

I would think it would actually hurt you in the admissions process because they’d think “wow, what an entitled ass”

I'm feeling pretty stupid because I have two kids and a HHI of $450K. If you get $1000 off $500K I should have applied.


If I found out a family like that received aid I wouldn’t give to the annual fund anymore.


Ditto
