I wanted to apologize for my comments about who can afford the Ivies. I certainly don’t want to disparage anyone that was able to put the money together, major kudos to you for sure. I just find this whole process horribly frustrating.
No apology necessary! I posted about Princeton’s financial aid not to be argumentative, but because some folks prematurely rule out wealthy private schools, not realizing that families in the lower- and middle-income brackets (and even some “donut hole” families) can receive excellent need-based aid (if the student is fortunate enough to be admitted). So don’t don’t eliminate a school from consideration without checking the net price calculator!
