No one is mentioning that 20 points for being an athlete is pretty excessive.
I have no problem with the highly selective schools giving financial aid based on financial aid only. The Ivy League has been working this way for fifty years, and the applications keep on coming in--even despite the fact that there is no aid based on academic or athletic merit. For years, there have been over-achieving working-class students who can't afford to attend the colleges of their choice. Does it only become a tragedy when it's middle to upper-middle class students who have to make difficult choices?
