?????

So what does this mean, they will get UMC white and Asian kids to pay full tuition and also admit first-gen black and brown kids to attend for free? Where does this leave the working class non URMs, middle class, and UMC without enough actual cash?

Trump is ending TO, so that will limit the URMs you dont like.

You're confused. TO is fine. Affirmative action is not.

Hilarious. TO is one of the most racist ways to maintain artificial demographics, i.e., white enrollment at a certain percentage. Claiming to be race-blind and that you're allowing a few token URM is just a way to justify it. If top schools really wanted to let in the best URM, they could have guaranteed 3:2 programs or AA transfers with HBCU or other schools that have high URM numbers. But every new admissions policy is directed toward preventing more Asians from coming in over less qualified whites, and it perpetuates the nasty stereotypes for black, brown, and Asian students. Why are there no pervasive stereotypes about white students?

I think there are several top colleges that are tuition free is HHI under 200k. Pretty sure Stanford is one, and I know I’ve read about others but cant recall.

Yes but it’s a bit of a gimmick because they also consider assets and most families with incomes over 100k own their homes and have $ in a 401k, they expect you to spend those assets for college . . .

Can a family making 200k pay 85K per year? I agree this benefits low income and full pay families I just question the income level where full pay is realistic

It’s not free tuition at $199k and full tuition at $201k. It’s just you will pay something towards tuition at $201k and then you gradually phase to full pay.

There is usually a pretty big jump and then a gradual increase

I wish I could insert a picture. I just ran Emory's net price calculator with the following inputs: 150k income, 15k in savings, 0 in 401k and home equity of 150k, in my opinion that is truly middle class and probably a low estimate, the median balance 401k for middle aged American is actually about 70k but I wanted to make it as favorable to Emory as possible. According to Emory's Net Price Calculator those parents can afford 31,500 per year. . .
