<p>Oh wow…only 20 Presidential? Yikes. My kids’ university awards over 500 Presidential scholarships every year (full tuition). About 500 is the typical yield - the actual number of awarded is much higher.</p>
<p>Well now that the admissions cycle is over I’m happy to report that I received excellent financial aid offers from Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and Caltech (MIT and UChicago not so much). They were extremely sensitive to my family’s financial situation, and I am now delighted to join the Stanford Class of 2016.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update, congratulations on the admissions and aid offers, and best wishes for your years at Stanford!!</p>

Not “unfair”, just doesn’t really make sense.</p>
<p>OP, good luck at Stanford! :)</p>
<p>Awesome - thanks for the update. I hope you enjoy your time at Stanford!</p>
<p>Congrats! Enjoy your college years!</p>
