[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If 56% of Pomona students get aid and Pomona meets 100% need, then it is impossible for 69% of students to come from sub-$110K households. [/quote]

Figured out the discrepancy--

The percents are based off students who get financial aid from a school. So within the X% getting financial aid, that's the percent of students who have household incomes of 75K or lower vs. 110K or higher.

According to the CDS, here were the percents for the students at the colleges getting financial aid:

Pomona- 56%
CMC- 40%
Mudd- 50%
Scripps- 36%
Pitzer- 40%

So the actual math is something like--

Pomona: 44% paid full price (likely income above 200K), 39% have HI under 75K and got financial aid, 17% have HI over 75K and got financial aid
CMC- 60% paid full price, 17% have HI under 75K and got financial aid, 23% have HI over 75K and got financial aid
...and so forth.

This was a big oversight on my end, so I apologize for citing faulty data. Anyways, I think I've said enough on the matter and it's not related to the question of the topic, so I'll stop. [/quote]
