[quote=Anonymous]I do think a lot of private school college counseling offices will steer less-wealthy kids to lesser schools. I'm not sure why, but perhaps it is so those kids can get some merit aid money. Every year at our school I see average but wealthy kids cruise into the Ivies (regardless of legacy status) while the counseling offices steer equally good students without wealth to lower ranked schools. I tend to believe it all works out because the Ivies are not what they used to be if they put so much emphasis on wealth and studies show that the real entrepreneurs are likely to emerge from less privileged environments. (The head of the a major private equity fund was just on the radio discussing that fact.) Still, I wish we were beyond this in 2014.[/quote]
