[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone think that the poor in America (300 million of them) are entitled to an Ivy education? The middle class can not afford 60K + yearly (240K+) There are plenty of colleges around. Why the Ivys have to take the poor? BTW, they do accept scholarship students. Why the outrage?[/quote] Access to the Ivy League is access to powe and class mobility in the US. The top Ivies have huge endowments and have committed to making an Ivy league education affordable for every student. Up to about $200,000, they provide substantial need aid and continue to provide it after that on a sliding-scale. That commitment looks great, because it suggests that they are committed to class mobility in the US. However, if they don't take kids from lower income areas and middle class areas, it's a sham. They're not really committed to class mobility, they just want to look like they are.[/quote]
