The average HHI of Harvard students is 168k......hardly that of your stupid fantasy world portrayal.[/quote]

I went to a T30ish school (Wash. U.) that supposedly has richer kids than Harvard.

I think that Harvard and Princeton have to be gaming the HHI counting system. I just don’t believe the students at Wash. U. come from families with a higher average HHI than the students at Harvard, unless that’s because many Harvard and Princeton students are the children of parents with trust funds set up to minimize taxable income, and the Wash. U. students are the children of high salaried worker bees.

And I know that Harvard claims to be need blind, but wanting students to have national awards is just a way to select for rich students without admitting you’re doing that. Most of the time, having national awards in anything other than basketball means you’re from a high-income household. [/quote]
