[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Most people that may be able to afford tuition, but only without saving anything or moving to a worst neighnorhood (most people that make between $150-200k) would likely end up not choosing the school. So the school gives incentives (FA) to retain some... it makes for a better school.[/quote] This is where we disagree most. As noted in another thread this morning, $200K is just about top 10 percent in the DC area, and even $150K is top 25 percent. What about the families that make between $90K and $150K (around the median and above)? They're not "poor" by any reasonable definition of the term. And there are three times as many families that make $90K to $150K than $150K to $200K. So the pool of potential diversity is presumably much bigger too. But in your world, because they're not "able to afford tuition," they should be shut out in favor of the $200Kers, a much smaller slice of the population with less diversity to offer?[/quote]
