I went to Wash. U. in parent times and never met anyone there who seemed especially wealthy.

Is it possible that schools like USC, Princeton and Dartmouth figured out a way to game the system and lower their apparent student family wealth levels?[/quote]

WashU is currently filled with loaded student families.. It is the go-to backup school when you don't get into Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Northwestern, duke, etc for NYC area kids.....$$$$$$ flowing freely. [/quote]

This comment shows your ignorance and bias. If what you say is true, then Northwestern, Emory, Vanderbilt, Tufts and others are also for Ivy League rejects and Yale, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Penn and Cornell are all for Harvard rejects. :roll: [/quote]

It's somewhat true. The only schools that aren't truly Ivy League reject schools where kids actually prefer the non-Ivy are Stanford, MIT, Caltech, and Duke. The rest are more often than not a backup if you're not confident about getting into an Ivy/you didn't get in. And this isn't counting Cornell, since there are a lot of schools kids tend to prefer to Cornell.[/quote]
What about Johns Hopkins? Would you that add that to the list above?[/quote]
