I also think people don’t UNDERSTAND the system. People outside of a certain bubble are really unfamiliar with Ivy and NESCAC and make a lot of incorrect assumptions. I remember an announcement where everyone was very proud that an international athlete had “received a full athletic scholarship to study medicine and Princeton University.” When athletes receive FA, people, particularly those new to this world, brag and call it a scholarship when it really has nothing to do with it.
