That's not technically true. Students whose parents earn under $60,000p.a. can go to Harvard completely free, with all their costs covered. Students with parents earning under $100,000p.a. will pay no more than 10% of family income, and students with family income of under $180,000p.a. pay no more than 20% of income.
Over 60% of Harvard students receive financial aid, and they provided $145,000,000 last year. So it's not exactly financially exclusive.
Most Ivy League universities have similar financial aid systems.

Even for international students? I'd fall into the second bracket anyway unfortunately, so tuition fees alone would be about £8000 pa, not including health / student services fees, room, board and living expenses.
Purely hypothetical!

i can't...its gone from trash - my account does that if things are left in trash for more than a week....ok seriously i may be annoying and a lot of things but a liar i am not! Its just so dumb
I dont think you are lying. Harvard was randomly encouraging students at my minor unknown state school to apply to them, i was going to but mum wouldn't let me. they probably saw you uni preferences on yougo (whatever that is) and they proabably thought the course you applied to was undersubscribed, and they were probably looking to fill some spaces with international students (specifically brits), You should contact their adminsitrators and ask what it was all about.
I think the email must have been some kind of spam, but the worst kind of spam....
Spam 
They can't have access to your UCAS application, that's confidential information - it's fake!

Just the same for international students, yeah. Harvard are a private college, so they treat all applicants equally. There's no particular preference given to US Citizens.
And no, I think you misunderstood me. It's not just the education that's covered, it's room, board,...everything. But yeah, you're right, would still be about £8k a year for you if your parents earn £80,000. That said...sounds like Oxbridge are heading in that direction also.
I was slightly off in my figures earlier. Here's the link to Harvard College application and financial aid;

Will probably be much more explanatory than anything I could tell you!

Well in fairness that's a much better system than the UK has for internationals..
Oh yeah Yale and Harvard sent me an email, weird they were asking for my account details (apparently its a formality), they askd me to send the first terms installment to some place on Lagos..i guess they run their financial division from Nigeria

I dont think ur lying about it happeneing, but look woman, theres more smarter people than u in AMERICA... why would they randomly select you???

In the states, Harvard/Yale send these kinds of emails and post packages to a huge number of people, the vast majority of whom wouldn't get in if they applied anyhow. The more people they convince to apply, the lower their acceptance rate is, the better they look on paper. Plus, it costs about $60-$70 APIECE to apply to universities in the States so it is definitely in their best interest to get as many applicants as possible. It's really not that big of a deal, and going there, especially with the reduced costs of unis in the UK, is not worth it.
