The above posters have given very good reasons why your parents may not want to shell out an extraordinary amount, even though they have a high income.

My question is why do you feel like you need to apply to more reach schools with big names? It’s not like Penn and Brown have exponentially better reputations/educations/name recognition than Stanford or Duke. Be grateful that your parents are telling you this now than after you’ve applied and gotten into a school your parents won’t pay for. Also, be grateful that your parents are helping you pay for school. Going to a great school with financial assistance from your parents is tons of compensation for all of your hard work.
