[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would venture to say I don’t think a lot of low income, low SES kids go to TJ to begin with. These are mostly kids with privileged background. Am I wrong?[/quote] Yes. And no. TJ has very few FARMs kids. So not low SES. But it has a ton on donought hole kids. In fact, it seems that the vast majority of kids fall into this category. Affluent, with parents able to pay for an in state college with no loans. But not wealthy. Most can’t afford to pay out of state without significant merit aid. My kid fits this description— so do most of his friends. That eliminates Ivy’s, and often means they will go to a less competitive school where they can get merit aid, vs a more competitive school where they cannot. And we are assuming our TJ kid will go to grad school. That means no undergrad loans to make up the difference for him. If the choice is between WM fully paid for or Rice with loans or us emptying our 501ks, my kid will go to WM. [/quote]
