<p>My daughter was just accepted SCEA to Harvard</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford have UNIQUE super aid. The other CSS schools don’t. </p>
<p>That said, even HYPS aren’t going to only consider the parents’ income (which is over $150k with ONE child), but they’re going to consider those extra properties. And, if those properties have rental income (likely), then that income will also get counted. </p>
<p>Sure, CSS Profile has places for the family to list that they send $XXXX to grandparents, but we’ve never seen schools take that into consideration because that can be manipulated and schools consider it a choice and they don’t want to subsidize. </p>
<p>And, we’ve never seen schools giving more money because the parents have decided to go back to college. </p>
<p>What the schools are going to see is a LOT of money that could be spent on their only child’s college being diverted to parents’ tuition and relatives abroad. </p>
<p>if the student wants to apply to HYP and see what happens, then fine. But he needs a back up. </p>
<p>Even if HYP accepts and gives some aid, we still don’t know how much the parents will pay.</p>
