Our EFC came out to approx $89K. Obviously we can afford to pay for college more than most people. But we could obviously benefit from a little financial aid thrown our way. Otherwise we are paying for a lot of the tuition from current salary (mine.)

So, Crew…are you really saying that the Ivies (or any other non-merit aid school) really would throw money our way if our child was the perfect candidate that you describe?

My understanding is that if you do not qualify for any financial aid…you won’t get a cent.

If you do qualify for some aid, there can be more flexibility.

What was your expereince with your oldest son…did you qualify for aid at the time?
