Financial Aid/Gossip Girl

<p>Did anyone see the latest GG episode with Dan getting denied for financial aid at Yale?
Aren’t families qualified for financial aid according to income ranges specified by Yale?
It’s another one of those ridiculous GG inaccuracies, isn’t it?
Thoughts/opinions?</p>

<p>No. It’s perfectly accurate.</p>

<p>Yale randomly selects 20 admitted students to be denied financial aid. Just for kicks.</p>

<p>yeah its one of those stupid inaccuracies! you cannot get “rejected” for final aid…unless its OBVIOUS that u dont need it. i dont know how much dan’s dad makes, but GG makes them seem so bad off (in comparison w/ the affluent serena, blair, chuck, etc)</p>

<p>^the comparison is relative, the humphreys could be middle income reg people, but they will of course look (really) poor in front of the other GG families.</p>

<p>Or they live in NYC and Rufus has a decent income but since the cost of living is so high…</p>

<p>Well, GG is a show so the inaccuracy was excusable considering the fact that the show is great.</p>

<p>you guys have got to be kidding me. dan IS fairly wealthy; it’s just that he’s poor in comparison to his PEERS.</p>

<p>yea, dan def is pretty wealthy…thats a pretty damn nice loft, prolly around 1-2MM for something like that in brooklyn</p>
