Cal and UCLA run rings around UMD (and also Wake, BC, and Tufts) academically yet both have comparatively high percentages of undergrads on Pell grants.

Vanderbilt says Emory is their peer and vice versa, but good luck to your mental illness. Also Vandy’s test scores are about 10 points higher, and they have around a 25% transfer acceptance rate, compared to Emory's 15%.

+1

nice +1 to yourself. vandy’s scores are significantly higher than emory

Notice how 70% of Emory students submit test scores vs only 50% for both Barnard and Vandy.

what's the ethnic mix of pell grant students at cal and ucla?

California is a majority non-white state, with current HS students even more of color, and there has been a lot of immigration over the 40 years, so I would assume that UC recipients reflect this.

UC has the mission of educating the kids of the state, so this would facilitate it.

that's not why I asked.

we all know asian students break the data that correlates economics to test scores

I wouldn't be surprised if the asian kids on Pell grants at cal and UCLA absolutely crush wake, bc, tufts kids on test scores

so your arg using cal and UCLA as examples to counter the person you were replying to doesn't rest of pell grants - its because UCLA and cal are very asian.

We are still in the financial planning/saving stages (oldest is in 8th grade) but we will be full pay, and we are trying to fund each kid's 529 to cover 4 years each of private tuition prior to their start date such that we can then cash flow room a and board board. We have 3 kids. That said, we will definitely encourage them to look at public schools or chase merit, so there will be some left for grad school or even just helping them launch (with a car, some rent help, etc.) I think we are doing very well financially and consider us to be pretty disciplined with our spending, but I'm wondering how so many are able to not even consider list price of colleges.

Well, we did not have three kids. We had one, because we wanted to be able to afford the very best for any children that we have. Two, we started saving for any children that we might have prior to our marriage date. We had been saving for 24 years by the time our kid went to college.

And that isn’t an accident. My husband, especially values top flight, education above most other things that you could spend your money on.
M we don’t have a family room addition and we don’t vacation in the Caribbean just because. We keep our cars for 7 to 10 years.
