Thankfully- my kid has a 4.4gpa and 35 ACT so has sailed through pre-reads. But he knows quite a few kids that got the bounce--one didn't have a rigorous enough schedule apparently.

Semantics warrior over here. So this thread can actually be helpful, it is true Ivy's may not give out "scholarships" but they certainly give out merit aid, which like scholarships is free money that reduce the cost for an individual family to attend.

Semantics ignoramus more like. They give out aid based solely on financial circumstances. There is no aid based on merit at any Ivy league school.

Might want to actually look at how private schools define merit, before you call-out others ignorance, this is all very grey despite SCOTUS' recent involvements which just made it even muddier to understand

No it didn't make it any harder to understand. Scotus involvement has not affected the financial aid package at all. Most of the Ivy league schools make their aid calculators available on the internet. You plug in your income and assets and it tells you what you will get. And that's what you get - black, white, male, female, athlete, doughboy, or striped like a zebra.

Exactly. What are you trying to say PP? There is zero merit aid at any Ivy. All aid is 100% based on income.
