<p>Right now, I can’t think of an Ivy League school that uses loans to meet full need for low income students. Are there any? Perhaps someone can post this information.</p>
<p>The Ivies are need blind…which means they review your application without consideration of your income. If you are accepted, they also meet full financial need. BUT beware…this does not mean school will be “free”. Even most of the Ivies require a student contribution which can be met through summer employment or work during the school year.</p>
<p>Acceptances to Ivy League schools can “appear” rather random. There are students with very HIGH standardized test scores who do not get accepted and students with lower (not very low…but lower) standardized test scores who do get accepted. Good luck to you…and good that you have a well balanced list of colleges including in state schools where you feel confident you will be accepted.</p>
