Although the graph is interesting people are treating it like it’s some nefarious plot. There are far more students in the 60-99% income range applying to college than below 60%. And for the top 1%, there’s not that many of them and they apply mainly to the legacy institution, so of course they have a higher rate.

Basic statistics people…[/quote]

I just looked it up and 15% of Harvards class is from the top 1%.

That also says that 52% of Harvard students are between 80 and 99th %ile and 4.5% are between 0 and 20th.  But somehow DCUM's take away is that the people in the 80th %ile are disadvantaged over the poor people.  [/quote]

Always amazes me at the DCUM people complaining that they make $175K and how terrible it is that they can't afford college, [b]when there are plenty of people living on $65-75K[/b].  If college is important to you, then you can find a way to save.  If you were making $100K 10 years ago and now make $175K, then you could have been saving that extra amount each year and not let your lifestyle increase.  Instead you played keeping up with the Joneses. [/quote]

The people making 175k are 100% full pay.  Private universities like in this article are approaching $90k PER YEAR.  $360K FOR AN UNDERGRAD degree--more than a house in most areas of the US.

People making $65-75k will be able to attend need-blind schools FREE.  Ivies will be free.  If you live in North Carolina and some other states--in state tuition is completely free.  Anyone making under $150k in NC no longer has to pay a single dime for tuition in NC.

s0 YEAH--the families busting @ss in high cost living areas making $160k are rightly pissed they are paying $360k for a 4-year BS/BA degree when over 52% of the kids in their child's class are paying $0.[/quote]

If 67% of Harvard is in the top 20% of income where are you getting the 52% figure?[/quote]
