<p>Lets say that he/she is exactly similar in terms of their credentials as you but cannot pay for their tuition because his/her parents cannot afford it. Is it that students fault that he/she cannot pay for his/her tuition? Does the student have any opportunity to change his financial situation at such a young age? I don’t believe so.</p>
<p>Just because a student is part of a family that is able to pay for his/her tuition does not mean that they should have an edge over other students that need financial aid to attend the same college. It is out of the students’ control. </p>
<p>Yes it may seem unfair to those who pay are obligated to be the full tuition, but just put yourself in a family’s shoes who cannot pay for their tuition. He/she could have extraordinary qualifications but somehow gets denied because of their financial status to a student with lesser qualifications who does not need financial aid. </p>
<p>UVA and the other colleges that are need-blind help create a more “equal” society. Isn’t that what the founding fathers based this country on? lol</p>
