<p>Condolences, physicshobo. You are part of the unfortunate group whom Princeton deems too wealthy for FA, yet your family will have to squeeze the cents to survive. </p>
<p>Students like you will not be able to afford all the foreign summer travel, the unpaid internships which have high housing and travel costs, and other opportunities which will be available to the FA students, as well as the wealthy. </p>
<p>Even though money might not be discussed out-right at the Ivies, it quickly becomes clear which students have discretionary income, whether through wealth or FA. Clothes, electronics, and break destinations reveal the situation.</p>
<p>It is also obvious which parents have fudged their FA forms, when one learns of a horse- owning student living in a chateau receiving FA, or the FA student who has travelled every summer and never held a job. There is a lot of scamming going on.</p>
