<p>Sorry Ana, you are misinformed . . . and the information you are quoting from an admissions counselor is wrong, at least as it applies to HYP. All students at HYP (athletes and non-athletes) are all treated equally – that includes a no-loan policy, identical student contribution, same term-time job opportunities etc. Here’s Cornell’s take on it:</p>
<p><a href=“http://cornellsun.com/node/28002[/url]”>http://cornellsun.com/node/28002</a></p>
<p>"Financial aid in the Ivy League is “need blind,” meaning financial aid is calculated and awarded the same way — solely based on economic need — for every single student. Academically, according to Ivy League Principles, student-athletes must be “generally representative of their class and admitted on the basis of academic promise and personal qualities as well as athletic ability.”</p>
<p>“What Harvard is doing now, in many cases, they’re in fact giving a full athletic scholarship. [They’re offering this] to every student, but including student-athletes,” Bilsky said. “Harvard’s package, and Yale and Princeton’s packages are now getting so advanced that the schools are not going to be able to tell coaches in advance ‘we’ll match any package that anybody gives in the league.’”</p>
