First, most of the people reading this are not going to get any $ for need based financial aid. Great for you if you can, but not in the cards for the majority.
Really? good to be you I guess. While many people do not qualify for federal need based grants many private schools with large endowments offer a lot of need based grant money, do you really think every kid on every Ivy League school is paying $60,000 a year out of pocket? they are not. depending on your net worth and income many many kids will do better getting academic and grant money then they could have ever gotten in Athletic and academic money.
And just FYI - for those of us that do qualify for grant money it is not great for us.
Guess what? It's not great for us paying half our income to taxes. Then paying full tuition, ya know, "cause we're rich". BTW we're not even close to RICH. However, if you make over a certain amount of money the school labels you as rich. Which means we're allowed to pay full boat, so folks like you can get a huge discount. Maybe if everyone paid the same price it wouldn't cost $60k a year, would it now?
