You do realize she lives in Malibu right? not exactly low income.... financial aid at Ivy league schools is based on financial need... I'm not saying shes paying 70k per year but shes certainly not going for free either

It's possible that her family makes around 100k a year (especially if the house is inherited).

If her family makes 100k a year, she'd get close to a free ride at Harvard.

Then based on the Ivy matching rules, all Ivy's are allowed to match Harvard's need-based package! Even though most ivy's don't have as generous financial aid packages as Harvard.

Right? So why didn’t she go to one of those? Because she didn’t receive a single scholarship offer. Get this, Stanford told her not to even visit. Why? Because all these schools know she’s done, she knows she’s done, so she figured might as well get a great education, go to the place she liked the most & receive relatively little pressure to ever run at a high level again. If she does, great! If not, no worries. Pretty simple actually. And yes, I know this.

what I know is had she been interested in getting a full scholarship offer she would have gotten plenty...

Pretty simple actually and, yes, I really know this... really

Even if she was badly injured, she'd still get a full scholarship from at least one D1 program.

She likely got a lot of aid from Dartmouth as long as her family made less than 200,000.

For example, if her family made 200,000, she'd get a 35,000 yearly scholarship by matching a Harvard needs-based aid package.

re: MatthewXCountry

You need to plug in assets. If you make $200k per year and live in an inherited house, you are able to save $50k per year for 25 years of marriage. The stock market causes that to double and all of a sudden you are staring at $2.5M over and above your 401k, much of it in mutual funds, the bank, and a second home. Harvard told us we could pay full fare and Dartmouth may have told her that also.

She lives in Malibu. It’s almost certain her family is making significantly far more than 100k a year.

On another note: could Claudia Lane be going the way of Amber Trotter? Going to a less competitive school? Maybe she’s feeling a lot of pressure?

re: Dwightarm

We would have offered her a 100% full ride, but figured we weren't in the running.

I am sure she is not paying much. She is a 2 x Foot Locker Champion.

Time will tell if she is the next Sarah Baxter...

Thanks Papa Lane. What's up with her this cross-country season? Is she still going to duck Touhy?

re: uswrname

She will go for free because of athletics. Ivys do still find a way to give the scholarships, despite what they might say.

re: Aidanaiding

I'm sitting next to a guy that ran for Princeton. He says they find "local" scholarships to help pay for top tier athletes. He says for four years he got a $10,000 local scholarship from the city he was from. Never questioned anything above that.

re: Aidanaiding

I am a Claudia Lane fan...from the interviews she comes off as an enthusiastic, positive and smart person. I was surprised by this...I thought she would go to Stanford. She said she considered Duke, Berkley, and Dartmouth. I went to Dartmouth so I am all for her choice. I just hope that she overcomes whatever injuries have kept her from racing a full schedule this year.

What she's gonna do is what is best for her and not for you or anyone else.

She's a good kid, who just happens to be a talented distance runner.

re: Aidanaiding

Judy Pendergast is paying full fare at harvard. Maybe Lane will change her mind after realizing what the actual price is.

re: Harvard doesn’t

She is absolutely not paying full fare there. She outlined this on a video on her youtube channel. She said that it's actually less expensive for her at Sarvard than it was at Oregon.

You are caught in your own web. You are calling all LR posters idiots so you are calling the LR posters who went to the ivies or had kids go to the ivies, idiots. So why would it be smart to have Claudia go to Dartmouth if her father is an idiot poster on LR?
You are absolutely incorrect regarding aid at the Ivies. They have only one reduction in price and it isn't based on athletics, academics, or race. It is solely based on income and assets. Katelyn Tuohy would pay the same $70k at Dartmouth regardless if she breaks every HS record this year. You are also off base in your assertion that an Ivy education is a good investment. Read the US News article posted in other threads. Graduates of Dartmouth earn the same amount as their equivalent peers graduating from Oregon, Washington, Alabama, or the Ivies. So Lane would have been way smarter to use her talent to earn a scholarship somewhere because she didn't get one from Dartmouth. It I another thing if she was poor and got a significant reduction there but she didn't.

I'm a runner at Alabama and could have taken the Ivy League route and paid an insane about of money for undergrad, why? Alabama gave me a full ride, yes totally free, and I was not a state champion (top 25 Northeast), I got there on high Academics. It is a rare runner that doesn't have injury or burn out knock them out of big time running...get your education and do it as cheap as possible.

re: MatthewXCountry

The Lanes sold their house in Malibu for $4.6 million over the summer. You never know, but the evidence does not point to a lot of need based aide at Dartmouth.

re: harland

Absolutely paying $70k. Many of us have attended or had children attend the Ivies so we know what the cost is. Just read their website regarding academic and athletic aid. There is none. It is 100% need based. If otherwise for athletes, the NCAA will come knocking and they will be suspended for a year.

As far as Pendergast goes, Oregon’s cost is $50k and she probably doesn’t really know how much her parents are paying. Ask your college students if they know the exact price they are paying.

This is the way to do it lad!

re: Bama Bound for 4 years

When I was applying to colleges, Alabama offered a lot of people I knew full rides.

The joke where I live now is Alabama? Is your diploma printed on Confederate money?
