My post was in reference to the COA at top 20 universities. Of course low income families have it difficult.
The problem with the cost of higher education is real for students who work hard and hope to attend a top university. It hits the upper middle class the hardest. The COA often force these kids to their 3rd or 5th choice.

With regards to attending elite universities the low income families greatest challenge is they are often at an academic disadvantage. They don’t have access to the Georgetown Preps, Holton Arms, or TJ academic magnet schools. Their high schools don’t get them jobs on the Capitol or at NIH. They don’t have 3 years of SAT prep and needs blind or not the top privates know which high schools the full pay kids are coming from. The cards are stacked against them with gaining acceptance to the elite privates. But, if they can get in the COA does not prohibit them from attending their dream school.
