[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Two people I know who went there came from a UMC family (not wealthy) and an MC family (lots of aid). There are more uber-wealthy kids at NESCACs than Ivies. Dartmouth has too high of an academic standard to take only wealthy kids. [/quote] Yes. At any good school, more than 60 percent will be receiving grants. $400,000 is pretty expensive for most families. The 1 percent are still over-represented, but that's because money brings access to opportunities. Middle class families do think about the costs for a crew regatta or a model UN meet in NY. For the rich that are buying admissions and dominating the social milieu, that would be the NESCAC schools and a few other mainstream colleges - SMU, TCU, USC. If you are not rich, you are going to feel it at those schools. Dartmouth will be fine. [/quote]
