<p>With an annual income of $180,000, in a three person household, it is highly unlikely that you will get need based aid at any of the ivy league schools or their peer schools. As a ballpark, your family contribution will be 1/4 to 1/3 of your family’s gross income. At that income level, and with those savings, likely closer to 1/3. This would be in excess of the cost of attending these schools. Therefore you would have NO financial need.</p>
<p>What sort of need based aid were you expecting with that income?</p>
