Yes, it is accurate. The better your stats AND the lower your family income, the greater are your chances of getting a good financial aid package. But none of the percentages are 100% so nothing is guaranteed.

If you are an average applicant from a middle income family, your parents will likely have to write out some big checks or take out some big loans.

Full tuition merit scholarships tend to go to applicants who are cross admits to top 10 universities. You have to be in the top 1 or 2 percent of applicants.
