What colleges give the most in financial aid both need based and merit based?

": When I was in high school my counselors told me that the Ivy Leagues gave out more financial aid than other schools. So I was surprised when I couldn't find anything to back that up today when I was trying to answer this one, and surprised that they weren't on the list that I did find. They may very well be absent due to your per capita caveat.

2 I just saw that from your links, and I am puzzled too. I was just flipping through Princeton's undergrad Announcement today (the brochure they send out to high school counselors) and it has a long piece about their commitment to attracting lower and middle income students. There were a few articles in the New York Times about their new policies.

They both have been very middle-class and immigrant since the GI Bill, but this new commitment dates from 2001 or so. I keep telling kids to apply. What do they have to lose?

But they rarely do. I even told a guy in Askville who was asking for a relatively cheap school for biochem. Princeton's biochem is world-class, and as I said, they will guarantee you can afford to attend.

But apparently this guy didn't believe me.

":Thanks for your information, I have heard the Ivy's are very generous, but SAT's have to be close to perfect or perfect, class of 2007 for our school the number two ranked girl did not get accepted to any of the Ivy's she applied to. The competition is unbelievable with the 20,000 applications Harvard, Princeton and Yale get. I guess that's why so many don't bother to apply.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
