I truly appreciate your viewpoint. All I am trying to say is that upper-middle class students struggle to pay for college too, and they have a lot less going for them (like absolutely nothing at all) in the financial aid process.

I do not think anyone should be held back from attending Michigan, including myself, an admitted student from an upper middle class family that doesn’t have $50,000 plus travel, book, supplies, etc. to pay for college for myself and to subsidize the education of those “who can’t afford it.” I put that in quotations as my family also cannot afford it.
