Why would anybody go to a school they didn’t want to go to ,that’s idiotic.

It seems like the effects of 5th years and freshman deferrals are going to mess up recruiting for years to come.

Also remember how sports and teams were already being dropped before COVID.

0 community colleges require standardized testing
ivies dont need them to figure out how smart you are-
everyone else uses them

Actually the Ivies aren't trying to figure out how smart kids are, they are trying to figure out how much money their parents can pay. Pretty well established.

Ivies don't need to worry about income. It's many of the smaller and less highly ranked schools that are really struggling right now.

Exactly. Check endowment and average cost after aid. Lots of variables but financial standing of institution more important than ever now.

Cool they've got you believing it.

At USC and at Georgetown, Stanford and Yale Universities -- others among the private universities allegedly the target of admissions bribes by wealthy parents -- those in the top 1 percent exceeded those in the bottom 20 percent of family income by three to four times. At all four of those institutions, more than half of students are from the top 10 percent of family income nationally.

...

At all of the universities named above, those low-income students who are admitted benefit from generous aid programs and are much less likely to need to borrow or to borrow large sums than they would be at other institutions, but there just aren't that many of them admitted, compared to those from the higher levels of family income. ...

All of the colleges linked to the scandal -- and many other competitive colleges and universities thus far untouched by it -- profess that they want to enroll more students from low-income families. What are the explanations for why that doesn't happen?

Maybe because lower income kids tend to live in weaker school districts, their parents can't afford pricey tutors and test prep or education consultants. Many have to take jobs to help their families, eating away at their time to study.

When schools do find those smart low-income kids they give loads of aid. It's the middle income familes to struggle with college cost - they make too much for much FA but not enough for college, especially for more than one child

This pretty much sums up the situation...

I'm not happy about the hypocrisy here either...but, who are you mad at?

If the college sets the requirements and the kid hits the requirements (and no bribery is involved) then why should the kid be denied. Their income shouldn't matter. Most likely those rich kids pay full fare so the colleges love them.

If the govt gives free education for kids from families making less than $50,000 and I make $60,000 and I have to pay for the full price how is that fair. The system is a mess.

I wish people would stop saying “Free” there is nothing free somebody’s paying for it.

If you make $60k and pay full price you should probably google “financial aid.”
