It is true but only for the most part. My family income was below 60K, but my aid packages varied wildly among supposed peer institutions. Harvard was the most generous, fully funded tuition + room/board + clothing stipend (presumably

I personally found the mathematical section to be a little too easy if possible. Any of the students from the top 10% of my 8th grade class would see those questions and start knocking them off. To be fair to Harvard, it's never prided
