Thank you all for your understanding. This thread and question, I agree, is quite silly, but as @sherpa said, I was given wrong information by a friend. As to @gibby, I can’t help but feel he/she is supercilious because he/she’s children got into and are going to elite universities. @Gibby, College Confidential is not a place to bully and make others feel inferior -especially a fourteen year old. It is about sharing experience and helping others achieve their goals. Please don’t knock others back because their ambitions - in your opinion - are for to great to ever truly eventuate. Congrats on your kids prestige acceptances, but, try to remain modest, or the least bit humble.

Additionally @gibby, I just read your comment above about my “reputability”, as @sherpa said, if spending 5k will help me achieve Harvard, it would be worth it. And I NEVER said that I wanted to go to Harvard PURELY because of financial aid. I said no such thing. I merely said I NEEDED it.

Your attempt at making me feel inferior isn’t working. If anything it motivates me more - even despite the snobbish parents of these children whom attend such accredited schools.
