No data. However personal experience and the experience of family and friends. Ivy's have extremely aggressive financial aid. Especiallyfor families with multiple children attending college they can make it very affordable. Financial aid is not limited the way athletic scholarships are to "12" to be spit as the coach sees fit. There are other schools with excellent "Need Based" aid as well: Northwestern, Duke, Notre Dame, Georgetown etc... I know of Student Athletes who have given up their "Athletic Scholarship" due to the fact that they received more "need based" aid. In my daughters class more than half are receiving financial aid and it is not subject to or restricted by NCAA limits. Every Ivy and every class is different... but if you think that Yale, Penn, Princeton, Cornell and Brown (on the boys side) can do what they do with 100% of the kids being "pay to play" athletes or if Penn, Princeton and Dartmouth can be as competitive as they have been with all "Pay to Play" athletes (on the girls side) you are kidding yours.
Imagine if they could offer scholarship...
My daughter receives 40k in aid to an Ivy. Was recruited to play lacrosse (we have an income of $250k). Was a better deal than most other schools were offering. Anyone who gets recruited to an Ivy and turns it down for a similar athletic scholarship (with the exception of Stanford, Duke, Hopkins) a is a fool!
This has to be some fake post , there is no way anyone with half a brain would actually post this.[/quote]
Why would you say that? I did not write the Post but I see nothing wrong with it.[/quote]
Saying anyone who has a chance to go to an Ivy and does not is a fool is arrogant and ignorant. It's the exact reason why some choose not to go so they don't have to be around the spoiled little brats of these types of self-important losers. There are many excellent schools and depending on the area of interest there are many schools that exceed the Ivy league schools for that area of interest. There are many legitimate reasons for kids to select the schools they do.Possibly a young girl wants to chase their dreams and attend a school who has a legit chance at winning a national championship while studying to get a degree and attend an Ivy graduate program, is she a fool. Its the reason many dislike the Ivies as many are insufferably boring.
