Without an outright scholarship or wealthy background, how would you pay
Harvard and most top private schools are generous in financial support if you can’t afford it. Harvard is free for families making less the 85k. But you are right that might leave an empty middle where you don’t get much aid, and don’t have personal wealth.

- ensignavenger 3y ago"And can't afford it" I do appreciate their efforts, but I bet that they decide who can and can't afford it, probably based on rigid criteria that inflexibly denies at least some folks in the middle who really can't afford it. Edit: It is possible I am wrong, the Harvard website linked above at least gives the impression they work with folks in varied circumstances. My experience helping folks with aid programs has perhaps coloured my perspective on Harvards unfairly. I have no experience dealing with them. If you want to attend Harvard, by all means, please apply and give them a chance! It is worth the rhe shot.
