[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure that private schools want to have good diversity in their school body. They don't want (nor anyone should) a school filled with super rich and super poor students. It's in everyone's interests to have a socially balanced student group. Since the schools have limited FA, they give 30/40% of the aid to a few "poor" students that receive 100% tuition aid. Then they give another 30% to moderately poor or middle class students that receive partial FA, and the remaining aid goes to students that are middle/upper class and only get 10/20% tuition help. So, unless the students are very rich, they will receive some FA if the schools want them.[/quote]
What is your definition of rich, middle class, and poor?  Based on the vague way that you've framed things, I would say that any aid going to non-rich upper class families should be allocated among the legitimately upper-middle (10 to 20 percent tuition help), middle (20 to 80 percent tuition help), and "poor" families (over 80 percent help).  Upper class deserves no aid in my book.  They may not be rich, but they still make more than 70 to 90 percent (depending on how you want to define "upper class") of other families in the area.[/quote]
