As others have indicated, Princeton has one of the best financial aid programs in the country (along with Harvard, Yale, and Stanford). If you want a cost similar to what Harvard is charging for your bother’s education without going to one of those four schools, you will have to turn to merit aid at a lower-selectivity school – assuming your scores are high.



A small minority of people (less than 5%) make over $250,000 per annum.



Not really relevant, but I believe it’s about 2%.
