<p>I think Brown you might have a chance…
correct me if you think I’m wrong</p>

<p>thanks. would i be able to receive much financial aid from there? my parents make about 100k, so i probably don’t qualify for need-based, but they wouldn’t be able to afford it without it.</p>

4

<p>try student loan</p>

<p>You never know until you try. The WORST case scenario is that they’ll just say no. Just find out which of the ivies are most suited to you and apply for one or two.</p>

<p>Modestmark- Harvard and Princeton both have excellent aid for families making up to about 180,000., depending on assets, of course. You would have a very good chance for a package if your family has the standard assets (one home, no millions in investments, etc.) Visit their financial aid sites for details, and good luck.</p>
