@Jellicus - The way that colleges, particularly Ivies, manage their tuition is disgusting, but ranting on a message board will not change it, and the only kind of aid that your kids will likely receive is merit aid. Here is a list of private schools that provide only “need” based aid and very little merit aid.
Boycott them, and concentrate on those schools that provide merit aid.
