William & Amherst aren't affordable for upper middle income but great for low & middle income. Everything is affordable for wealthy.

Nope. They are great for low income/low asset/high liability or uber wealthy but very expensive for upper middle class with no debt.

Best to use the Net Price Calculators on their website,

Their calculator estimates you could get 12-32K in grant aid.
