That’s one way to stay “need-blind,” coupled with filling your class with ED applicants. [/quote]

Is the school need blind or need-aware?
Given financial issues, aware??[/quote]

Still need blind. [/quote]
And as PP said, in name only. The school is white as bread and filled with trust fund ski bros (and “bras”). [/quote]

46% of students receive financial aid, and the average grant is $60,202 (according to their website): https://www.middlebury.edu/college/admissions/affordability

So while there are a lot of very rich kids there, there are also many who are not.  [/quote]

Sounds like they may be missing the economic middle ground, where many WJ families fall. [/quote]
The economics middle ground is the majority of most of these colleges. You understand the universities would go out of budget if they mostly accepted fgli students right?[/quote]

Your statement doesn’t make any sense given the data provided in this thread. It suggests an inverted bell curve. What are you labeling as the middle ground?[/quote]
The middle ground is the middle income of American families, not the delusional 200k salary you’re conjuring up as persecuted.[/quote]

I was mainly thinking of families in the $100,000s. Some aid but not $60K of it. The $200K families are probably not getting aid. Though they also aren’t in the donor class, so probably not highly desirable compared to the private school kids. But the middle income of America is not what’s referred to in discussing the inverted bell curve problem in higher ed. You might want to educate yourself a bit more on higher ed to understand the lingo. [/quote]
I’m not interested in the persecution complex of people who make twice the median income. Maybe they should learn to save and stop complaining so much- they also get copious amounts of aid these days, it’s sick.[/quote]
