[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears Harvard is actually unique from the other ivy leagues. It punishes the middle and upper-middle incomes but favors the lowest and top 1% brackets. Schools like Amherst, NYU and Brandeis seem to copy this model of favoring both extremes.[/quote] ? most of those schools favor the 2% and the < 60%.[/quote] Exactly--that's the trend for all the ivies and the top SLACS. I think this pattern is one reason why hostility to elite colleges has found fertile ground. They accept the very, very rich--have a sort of noblesse oblige for the worthy poor, and somewhat snub the MC/UMC which represents a large portion of the voting population.[/quote]
