Congratulations, he got accepted when his chances were against him.
The fact is that ALL schools raise their tuition every year. “More than their yield can handle”? What does that even mean? If their yield goes up, so be it, if their yield goes down so be it, what does your statement even mean? What promises are they breaking to their upperclassmen? Can you quote or better yet, cite which promise you mean?
yes, the president gets paid through some of the tuition money, what are you even trying to say, can you please be clear and point to something or other but not linger in aimless obfuscation?
You are one of the few that I heard didn’t get more than the NPC. So far everyone that I’ve spoken to about cost of attendance has said they got more than the NPC predicted from RPI. I would have expected 50% / 50% but no, all people except you has said they got less than the npc.
What I saw in your post seems very agenda driven; just a lot of negative remarks with no proof, citation, or examples. Meanwhile, people provide proofs of the opposite experience on this forum with proofs. The only example you cite is your own but the rest of your post seems to show unfounded negativity. If your son couldn’t get into schools with lower academic credentials that indicates something you might want to consider. Schools offer less merit aid to low academic standing students. If he got accepted to RPI with an incoming class average SAT of 1399, you must understand that you will get less merit aid if you fall lower than average, and more aid if you fall higher than average.
