[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an interesting article by the New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/07/24/upshot/ivy-league-elite-college-admissions.html

Look at the graph.  Small preference for the poor, large preference for the 0.1%.  At the cost of the 60th to 99th percentile.

that's you DCUM.  [/quote]

Disagree. This chart seems to show the 70th to 95th being the issue.

The 99th is advantaged (just not as much as the 99.9). The 98/97/96 look ok, about average.

What income range is the 70th to 95th?[/quote]

The 400k to 600k families with private school kids seem to complain the most. Even though that income and private seem to both be advantageous.

It’s the 100k - 300k families that go missing at these schools based on the data. They are discriminated against. That also corresponds nicely to what a mid level 2-income household would make. Two blue collar workers at the lower end to two mid level professionals at the higher end.[/quote]

Do you have evidence to support that there are fewer 100K to 300K families than families under 100K?[/quote]
