Nowadays, it is a piece of cake to use college Common App
It is a piece of cake to use college Common App information to estimate a family's financial status. Keep in mind that a computer will filter out the most applicants in the first round!
The average financial aid amount at Ivy League schools varies by school, but generally ranges from $52,257 to $67,000: Yale University The average financial aid package is $67,000, and 53% of students receive financial aid. Yale meets 100% of financial need without loans. Dartmouth College The average financial aid package is $62,290, and nearly half of students receive need-based financial aid. Dartmouth meets full demonstrated financial need without loans. Harvard University The average financial aid package is $61,800, and Harvard meets 100% of demonstrated financial need without loans. Brown University In 2020, the average financial aid package was $52,881, and 44% of students received need-based aid. Brown is need-blind for first-year, first-time U.S. citizens and residents. Many Ivy League schools have large endowments and offer generous financial aid policies. All Ivy League universities are need-blind, which means that a student's ability to pay for college won't affect their chances of admission.
很多大学都声明自己是need blind, 录取和FA是分开的。如果确实如此, 那为什么不在录取结束后再让已经录取的学生申报家庭收入财产? 为什么要在申请的时候选择申还是不申?
名校之所以难进, 除了好的声誉, 坚实的教学科研实力, 还有就是雄厚的资金使其有能力提供好的FA。
紫檀过去贴过很多各大学的FA统计, 有趣的是所有大学多年来都是拿FA和不拿FA的学生百分比基本固定。即使大家都认可的T5和几个顶级LAC也是如此。
其实也很明白, 学校用于FA的基金投资收益每年是有计划发放的。所以不会先录后分配。
老中家庭秉承母国传统勤俭持家, 多少都有几个存钱。除非特殊情况, 公校就不要打主意了。对于私校, 我认为如果家庭经济需要, 一定申。这个需要是指计算出的FA在一万以上。如果只有几千块, 但因申FA减少了录取机会, 孩子又特别想去, 那就得不偿失。
其他T20保持50%左右常年不变。。
按家庭收入来看，全自费的家庭10%不到，难不成到了最高一层富裕家庭的娃能被录取的比例反而减少，显然不符合统计分布。。
很多家庭比俺家更需要FA。而且说是他们网上计算器并不准，他们是要看各个家庭的经济细节来决定...

各自的铺子录取率肯定不同。

饭那么难吃是说不过去。不过其实学校活该。但是倒霉的是学生。他们和west philly 有什么agreement， 优先提供工作机会给当地人。所以。。。而且给饭的人还有服务态度问题。听上去就跟中国当年的售货员差不多。lol
T5和顶级LAC都申, 因为听说他们大方。
来了要求捐款的信。

在海量的申请材料里还要慎重考虑把FA作为录取条件容易误掉牛娃。虽然误掉几个也没啥，但是录取的生源因为提前看FA有明显改变的话这种影响对财力雄厚的学校应该不值。
这种是比较好的学校。
祝你娃大学顺利!
所以申还是不申, 要谨慎。
