The first number we were given was generous, but mistakenly not calculated under Harvard standards. I questioned that and they gladly reconsidered and recalculated. The difference was about $10K more on our side!
Anyone shying away from Ivy's because of the cost should reconsider. Ivy's are very generous because of their endowments and the athletic competition. Leverage was a wonderful thing for us!
See this New York times article:

Great stuff! A.L.
The Ivy's may be the last bastion of old school NCAA Division I Volleyball. Academics are central, the level of competition is very good, and the program's receive support which allows the athletes to have a positive experience.
I understand that the academics and financial considerations can be a deterrent to many families, but because of the experience and lifelong benefit, VolleyFamilies should always consider this avenue!
