<p>I agree, I’m not really sure what the argument is…a school can be need aware (which Midd now is for intls) and also (a) transparent, (b) still have a very significant financial aid budget compared to other schools and (c) make a very honest effort not to just settle for a class of prep school clones…when things get tight, yes they might have to make some hard decisions…but I don’t think it means they have to immediately drop all their ideals and admit only rich kids with 1300 scores, there is such a thing as compromise…</p>
<p>and if you’re just saying Midd is having trouble, we already knew that because THEY TOLD US THEMSELVES…most people aren’t so naive that they can’t read between the lines of the article etc.</p>
