Yes. They provide great aid to the neediest. The problem is there are few upper middle class kids there, few kids of families making @ $200k in big cities. They have the poor and the top 5%. It’s unbalanced. And it is the same at many private schools.

I suppose all highly rank privates are rich but Wake seems excessively rich. DD’s roommate drives $75k car and another hall mate picked up by private jet for break. Yikes.
