Are the financial pre-reads reliable?

Yes. We found them very reliable, but it is incumbent on the student/parent to provide all data needed. The pre-read is only as good as the data provided.



In people’s experiences how willing are schools to match other ivy offers?

Our FA pre-reads were almost identical between a HYP-type school and a BCCDP-type school. However, each coach knew we were considering the other, so I’ve always wondered if that information got passed onto FA office. I’ve not heard of great differences but your mileage may vary.



Does being a recruited athlete affect your financial aid read vs. non athlete?

Athletes receive grants in the FA read and package. I’m not aware that non-athletes receive grants.
