[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any elite school with an per-student-endowment of $800k or above is going to attract a significant amount of FGLI and lower middle class through financial aid. So while schools like[b] Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, and Bowdoin [/b]have a lot of rich kids, they also have a significant portion of poor kids. The real rich-kid schools, IME, are usually in just below the super elite tiers (ranked above T25) but still have cachet and have stingy financial aid because of their smaller endowments--e.g., [b]NYU, USC, Colorado College, Midd, Wake Forest, etc.[/b] There are exceptions though--Wesleyan, for example, doesn't have a huge endowment, but is very generous with their financial aid.

With the exception of Wake Forest, all of these schools have roughly the same percent of students on Pell Grants...

Amherst - 21%
USC - 21%
Williams - 20%
Middlebury - 19%
Colorado College - 19%
NYU - 18%
Dartmouth - 17%
Bowdoin - 16%[/quote]
