How this correlate with multiple anecdotal claims in this thread from users saying that they were accepted into positions that didn't offer them scholarships at all, nor lowered their tuition?
- augustt 6y agoWhen you get off the waitlist it's common to receive substantially less financial aid. There might be some other causes too.
- treis 6y agoIt's a relatively recent trend so the anecdotes could be from before the elite universities started doing it.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoThose anecdotes must be from over a decade ago.
- MattGaiser 6y agoThey often don’t offer either. They only offer financial aid. It is a distinct application process (at least was was I applied). But that financial aid is extremely generous. I.e. you can have family income of over 100K and still qualify. A high school friend who went to an Ivy missed this part. She thought that not offering merit scholarships meant you couldn’t get any money to reduce the cost.
