[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s an attribute of elite colleges these days.[/quote] Oops — this was meant as a response to the post about the relatively high percentage of first gen students at UChicago.[/quote I don’t disagree, but PP seems to think that Chicago is more attended by the rich and the highly educated than ND and NU. The stats say the opposite: Chicago has fewer highly wealthy students than NU and ND, it has more first generation college students, and more students who come from low income families. [/quote] The most elite colleges do this--extensive outreach to first generation students and also offering need-blind admissions with grant-only FA for families with qualifying incomes. This is true at Chicago, HYP, Stanford, Swarthmore, Amherst, Williams, Pomona, MIT, and generally other colleges with very large endowments. Notre Dame and Northwestern are NOT on this list.[/quote]
