>Harvard doesn't offer academic scholarships.
OK, but there are other places that provide scholarships.
>if your parents make less than 65,000 (20% of Harvard students) you don't pay anything.
That's awesome for students from low-income families. I support it 100%! But let's be clear here, a family with a household income of $66k/year (up to, I don't know, $200k/year) cannot afford $85k/year tuition without the student going into massive debt. Those students shouldn't even look at Harvard. It's not worth it.
>It's the kids who go to second- and third-tier institutions and take on massive debt who should reconsider college, not the ones going to Harvard.
What are we arguing here? If a student ends up with massive debt from Harvard, that's not worth it either - right?
