<p>These schools promise to meet 100% of demonstrated need, and, in the case of the Ivies (and maybe the other schools although I’m not sure), ask that the student/family make no contribution if the annual income is less than 60k a year. UVA is a state school so I don’t think that rule applies and I hear Northwestern is notorious for not giving much financial aid. And some say the same of UChicago.</p>
