<p>Tell your friend that only 10% or less of the students who apply to these very generous schools actually get accepted. There are no guarantees of acceptance even for the MOST qualified applicants. In the 90% or so of applicants who do NOT get accepted, most are also well qualified to attend. SO…the first hurdle is to be accepted. The terrific financial aid will do you no good unless you get accepted, and at these schools there are no guarantees.</p>
