[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This website skews toward high earners in a high cost of living area. Likely, most of your friends have at least a college education. 40-60% of Americans can't cover the cost of a $1000 emergency. 20-40 % have no retirement savings. The cost of college, the lure of financial aid and loans and scholarships is hard to understand. Costs are high, wages are low, calculations of parent contribution can be unfair - they don't always account for high cost of living, illness, other dependents. [/quote] +1 And the exact profile of parents who don't understand this and are low earners but have kids who are bright enough to get into these excellent schools are the exact ones to get need and merit scholarships. Not be pushed out because "it's too expensive for them and who are they to even apply to these schools?" Sounds like sour grapes from UMC who want more spots for their kids. [/quote]
