[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One additional point. So you admit these kids to Harvard and they graduated and their families are now UMC. Now their kids no longer have advantage to goto Harvard and are in the same boat as the rest of us. But that high school is terrible. So who has actually gained here?[/quote] This is wildly reductive. A single person moving from working class to upper middle class can change the trajectory of an entire family, particularly in cultures with high levels of social cohesion. By your metric, colleges should ONLY admit low income students, because the "gain" is substantially higher on that sort of class mobility than a UMC kid who goes to Harvard and stays UMC along with everyone in their family who was already UMC.
