<p>I can’t pull the article up but in one sense, it’s a boon for the top schools (non-Y, non-H). Since more non-FA needing, highly qualified kids will be rejected that in generations before may have been offered admissions, these kids will then go (and pay generously) to the next group of schools.</p>

<p>Y and H will be able to grab more “diamonds in the rough” that other schools will have to otherwise offer lots of FA anyways.</p>
