[quote=Anonymous]The whole NESCACs/top LACs being less socioeconomically diverse isn't true. Amherst, Pomona, and Vassar all do better than the Ivies and Stanford in bringing Pell Grant students (reserved for low income students; incomes below $40000- https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/09/17/upshot/top-colleges-doing-the-most-for-low-income-students.html). According to this (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/18/upshot/some-colleges-have-more-students-from-the-top-1-percent-than-the-bottom-60.html), Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona, and Vassar all enroll more students from the bottom 60% of income than HYPS. The LACs do an outstanding job with diversity because they're smaller schools and can more readily craft a class. Pomona, Amherst, and Swarthmore are more socioeconomically and racially diverse than any of the Ivies. Only Columbia compares. [/quote]
