I went to Wash. U. in parent times and never met anyone there who seemed especially wealthy.
Is it possible that schools like USC, Princeton and Dartmouth figured out a way to game the system and lower their apparent student family wealth levels?

We make more than $229k and that $85k year is absolutely painful, especially with another also in college in another year.
None of those salaries qualify for aid. Schools without large endowments or need blind are t on the list because most kids at those schools barely pay anything out of pocket.

I would’ve expected brown university to be on the list and also perhaps USC. Maybe even Pepperdine.

This is from like five years ago. But yes, Colorado College has very wealthy students. Lots of trust funders. I live in Colorado and almost every graduate I've met, their lifestyle doesn't match their job (ie they have family money).

Carleton is not need blind. It had to give that up years ago. But agree that Carleton is not known for having wealthy students.

Odd question. Carleton is need-blind and not known for attracting wealthy students compared to most top SLACs.

Colorado College is a very competitive SLAC which most kids who get in apply ED. It’s well known to have very wealthy families.
