| BCEagle - I was assuming that if a kid is getting into prestigious colleges, chances are they aren't dealing with Down's syndrome or the like. There are certainly kids with disabilities at these colleges, and I apologize about minimizing them.
And for fair exposure - this is coming as a full pay OOS LAC kid whose family doesn't think of themselves as wealthy. Not as a poor kid who is bitter. I just go to a school with too many people who are getting screwed. I know what scholarships I got offered despite my being a full pay kid to many of these schools, and it just strikes me as unfair to those less well positioned. (and I do fully understand the business reasoning for merit aid, and do certainly think it serves its purposes) |
