[quote=Anonymous]I am totally fine with top private colleges only taking the poor and rich. If Harvard can give that leg-up to poor kids then more power to them. My own Asian-American UMC kid goes to UMD and gets merit $$. I am aware that UMD is affordable even without the merit aid, but free money and savings are always welcome. All I would want to see is that the definition of "poor" be changed based on SES, marital status, COL. Let there we some sensible affirmative action in place. In other words, I am fine with Harvard not taking the kid of the rich Nigerian doctor, but instead they take a Black kid from the Bronx. Similarly, the White kid living in DMV in a household making $150K needs aid because this is an expensive area. No one has any objection to affirmative action, if it is based on race and SES. Even as I [/quote]
