Looking at the big picture, American colleges have 55% of kids graduate in 6 years.  At top colleges that number is in the mid 90s.  Yes, some LMC kids without great parental supports or educated parents have to go to any college where they can get into and find a way to pay for it.   They will probably go the community college to 4 year college route, or go somewhere they can live at home and save money.   But the reality is that LMC kids are more likely than not to not get a degree.  Vs a UMC kid who goes to WM or UVA and is almost certain to graduate.  And that’s before you consider the fact that a WM or UVA degree will get you further on just a BA/BS and make grad school much more possible.

So yes, you can be one of i kids and take 3 buses to school and work two jobs and walk 8 miles a day uphill in the snow and get a degree. But you are beating the odds.
