<p>bluebayou,
It’s an interesting thesis. I don’t follow the Pell Grantee scene like others here. If anyone is inclined to do the analysis, it might be interesting reading. As for UC Berkeley’s # of Pell Grantees, remember also that the enrollment of the Ivies COMBINED is only about 2.2x that of UCB and I don’t know how many Pell Grantees there are in all of the Ivy schools. I don’t know UCB’s 4-year grad rate, but the combined Ivy number looks to be about 85-86%. Thus, it would appear that roughly 15% don’t make it in four years. It would be interesting to see if UCB’s rate is approx 2.2x that (33% or 67% graduate).</p>
