Note that Brown is known for having worse FA than many (all?) of its Ivy League peers. One can also find examples of Ivy+ colleges that give FA in this scenario. For example, using those same stats at Princeton ($300k income, with $500k savings/investments), I get the following. Also note that with 2 siblings at Princeton, total cost is $27k * 2 = $54k – the same total cost as 1 kid at Princeton.
- No Siblings In College – $54k cost to parents
- 1 Sibling in College – $27k cost to parents
