No. Do not make assumptions like that.
The source material is easy to find. It's https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordability https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/why-harvard/affordabi...
From the source material:
> Financial aid will be available to many students from families with incomes above $200,000, depending on individual circumstances.
The cost of an American higher education is something worth discussing, but I think starting the discussion with inaccurate information is problematic.
- goldfishgold 2y agoFrom the article: > About 55% of Harvard undergraduates receive some type of financial aid, according to the university. Which implies that 45% of Harvard undergrads do not receive any financial aid, ie pay sticker price. Anecdotally that would match my expectations.
