I suppose it depends on the perspective.  $10k over 4 years is $40k.  Not huge, but nothing to sneer at, either.  It's a midsize car.

Also - it's not measured by what "you saved for college," it's measured by any non-retirement assets you have if I understand it correctly. How much should an average college educated couple (2 earners, as is common) have saved up by the time they're around 50?  Average age of first childbirth in the US is 30 years.

The concept of EFC reminds me of Karl Marx infamous slogan: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_his_ability,_to_each_according_to_his_needs]From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs[/url].  Maybe we have arrived in Communism after all and Marx is laughing from his grave.

This is an irrelevant, misleading and honestly kinda disgusting comparison.  It's a strawman that sh*ts.

T[b]his is about colleges getting the kids they want in their class.  It has nothing to do with broad economic or political philosophies.[/quote][/b]

Yes and No.  It IS about colleges selecting the students they want in their classes. But you are incorrect when you say it has nothing to do with broad economic or political philosophies.  Read up on on what college admissions deans are doing to encourage wealth redistribution by pushing 30% of the class to be low-income, URM, first-generation, etc.  And the essays are where the students try to show off their societal smarts to pass the political correctness test.  Colleges are very much now about wealth redistribution and turning out the next phalanx of Social Justice Warriors.[/quote]
