My financial aid grant was approximately 75% of tuition (before considering any federal loans).

They are just practicing price discrimination. They look through all your finances and consider exactly how much you can possibly bear to afford.

All that theater about giving you a 75% discount? It was just theater.

It's not "just" price discrimination, there are plenty of rich dumb kids out there that could have taken his spot.
