[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will having highly educated parents be seen as being "over-privileged"[/quote] But don’t colleges want kids who come from privileged families? Afterall they need to make sure they accept students whose families can pay the bills. Look at the data. [/quote] Lots of need blind places -- who presumably don't care?[/quote] They are blind to the financial aid check box and calculated need, but yet don't admit an entire class needing aid. They find a way to consistently end up with the same % full pay vs % on financial aid year after year. They need Pell grant recipients for the US News ranking, but ultimately they need some significant portion of full pay students. Please don't misunderstand, I'm not suggesting full pay is a significant advantage, but in most cases it is better to be full pay than not.[/quote]
