So the schools accepted him; that’s impressive. But the more important question is this: How much are any of them offering him in SCHOLARSHIP money. Being accepted into an elite school — with its outrageoulsy overpriced cost of attendance — only means he can look forward to a lifetime of paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loans unless they are also extending a whole lot of financial aid.
Ivy's don't offer scholarships. They only offer financial aid based on income and savings of parent and student. Having said that though - they all have so much money, a way will be found. For most Ivy's, a family income of <$60,000 per year means a totally free ride. I understand this kid's parents are professionals / Doctors who emigrated from Ghana. Money won't be an issue.
