I am hardly an idiot. I am so smart that I make enough money to pay for my kid's top tier education and they have the SATs and grades to get in.
Also, I have two children playing D3 sports (one playing womens soccer) at highly selective research universities. These schools only provide merit aid to a very few select students (maybe 20 out of 2000). The need based aid is generous due to the substantial endowments, but you have to have need. Very, very few on the teams receive any aid, so I am not funding other athletes. We do indirectly fund other students who otherwise would not be able to attend the universities, and, I am perfectly OK with that. I have been blessed with opportunities and I am happy to extend an educational opportunity to other deserving students. Our experience with these schools and sports (both nationally ranked teams) has been worth every penny. Not screwed at all.
