@dreaming123 That is true. I don’t think I ever denied that? It’s just that I don’t qualify for it personally.
FA aside, students shooting for top schools should keep their wits about them when it comes to their expectations. Elite schools are a fantastic, affordable resource for many but a kid who expects to get into them has a big storm coming, regardless of if he will pay 5 thousand or 50.
I’m sorry if it came off as if I was telling all students to take merit aid. Certainly not my intention! If you can afford Yale, go to Yale, but if you can’t don’t be discouraged
