| I stand corrected -- Duke, along with 35 other schools, uses an additional process for determining "family ability to pay" above and beyond the "expected family contribution."
Still, though, it is not personal, it is business. And, it is not just Duke -- there are 35 other schools using this same formula. Ths comparisons by Fast27 were both Ivies and the Ivies have moved toward more generous aid packages. While the Ivies' actions may lead to some positive changes in the way aid is doled out and in the amount given out, it will take time, which doesn't help those facing the big tuition bills right now.
