<p>Parents with income range of 60k-180k are expected to contribute up to 10% of their income. Does anyone know how much the parents have to pay if their income is a little higher than 200k???</p>
<p>The 10% contribution is only true for the lower end of the income range stated. The scholrship goes down quickly when the family income goes above 140-150k range. However, the eact number depends on specific family circumstances such as how many chiildren are attending college. With over 200K family income, the scholarship offer is going to be very limited.</p>
<p>dave61… As of April 2011, Harvard expects you to pay full sticker price if your income level is over $180,000. My son was accepted to the class of 2015 at Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Duke, Johns Hopkins and Boston College (Presidential Scholar-full tuition scholarship plus international travel). </p>
<p>I called Harvard’s financial aid office and asked if they ever extended the 10% offer to families making over 180,000 but significantly less than 550,000. The answer was a polite no. </p>

<p>HP and Molegamom,</p>
<p>Thanks for your help. As any other parent, I would like the best education for my Ds. But I am wondering if the full sticker price for Harvard or other Ivies justified for the 40K difference when compared to UCLA or not? My D is planning on premed major. She is a rising senior and planning to apply for HYPS and other combined programs. I am leaning toward suggesting her to go to UCLA and then if she has good enough GPA and MCAT score, she could then apply for med school at HYPS, UCSF … The tuition and fee difference between Ivies and state school like UCLA, I think, justify much more for med school than premed. I would appreciate comment from anyone. Thanks.</p>
<p>Anyone else? Please !</p>
<p>I would like to get comments from people who attended or are attending Ivies on if Ivies premed justifies for 40K/yr difference between Ivies and say UC Berkerley or UCLA.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
