[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you think that Harvard was for smart kids? Harvard is and has always been for rich kids [/quote] It’s for both. That’s always been the magic mix. But there are far more poor kids competing for seats than rich kids.[/quote] Actually, the average "poor kid" isn't even thinking about Harvard or T25 schools. Even the really smart ones. They are just hoping for somewhere (likely nearby so they don't have too much transportation costs) that they can get enough aid/merit to graduate college without too much debt. So they are attending the local State University or nearby private schools known for giving excellent merit and FA. They are not thinking "top 25 or bust". [/quote]
