<p>^ Frankly I doubt that (I believe they said it–and I believe it’s lip service)
—as the web site for FinAid has been “under construction” without a calculator for more than a year. </p>
<p>I think they don’t want to have a calculator …
and Y isn’t nearly as generous as H or P…</p>
<p>For example, I know of two families who gave me first hand accounts of Y vs other schools.
In one case Y asked for double from the family as their portion than P
–student is at P…(the calculations were with the same financial info…)</p>
<p>Other family was offerred far more generous offer from H than Y for their student. (same financials, and two older siblings in college)</p>
<p>I think what has been happening is a pulling back on aid for various reasons…</p>
<p>The wording of the claims that the average family can expect to pay 10% etc if their income is A and assets are B isn’t accurate…</p>
<p>The FinAid office is very opaque.</p>
