Amherst Cries Poverty

If you look at net price calculator, parents’ contribution does not start until $60k annual income and then gets prorated all the way up to $200,000-220,000. I’d say if parent(s) make north of $220,000 they’re still considered middle-class and should be able to afford a full cost of a college attendance (assuming they only have 1college age student).

<p>I’ll let one of the anonymous (and entirely neutral) commenters @ NYT take that one: "What this could really mean is if you make less than 200k a year, Amherst is basically saying to every student’s parents: “Ok, what’s the value of everything you have? We’ll take that.” </p>
