Since 30-some odd schools around the country have become need-blind (columbia, penn, vanderbilt, and duke to name a few) and have done away with loans (now no-payment required grants) many students who could never pay off loans/never thought of being able to attend a top-tier school are now not only able to afford a top level education, but are also able to walk away unscathed by debt.

I have a strong feeling this has a lot to do with top-level schools getting massively more applicants
