Coming to Terms with Early Decision Regret

<<<<<<
I don’t mean to invade OP’s privacy but why would one attend an impoverished school and get financial aid when he is a double Legacy at Harvard? One would assume going to Harvard makes parents at least affluent if not wealthy by the time their kids start college.

Who knows; it happens.

There was a double legacy Yale applicant awhile back (both parents Yalies), yet the student was very low income. In that case both parents were mentally ill and disabled.
