[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The OP is simply arguing for a redefinition of “poor”.[/quote] Yes. And no. Not arguing that one can't get a wonderful education at a lesser private (with merit aid) or a public. Elites are different in status and theoretically offer entrance into the ruling class. In the post WWII period they were open to this demographic. Had many high school friends at IVY's and Stanford. None of their families could be described as rich, just reasonably comfortable. What I am describing is a structural shift in American higher education which seems at this point to be permanent. [/quote] Did you really have "many" high school friends at those nine schools?
