I’m a high school junior right now aspiring to go to Harvard. I’ve always wanted to go and I have fair credentials. However, I’m an international (canadian, if that makes any difference) and an asian. Those are just two of my “problems”. My family isn’t very well off and even IF I do get accepted, I always wonder if I will be able to pay out the tuition. Then, a few days ago someone I met asked me where I wanted to go for college. I told him I wanted to go to Harvard and we talked a lil bit about tuition and my concerns. He said tuition should be the last thing I worry about with schools such as Harvard because monetary issues don’t become a problem once I get accepted. Is this true? Is tuition really not that big of a problem once you get accepted? How does fin.aid/scholarship work with colleges like H? Thanks in advance.
