<p>Berkeley and UCLA Pell Grant recipients would’ve gotten free rides at Princeton and Yale as well as every other ivy. It is the responsibility of the ivies to give low income students equal opportunity, not equal results. Their obligation is to provide affordability to low income students, not to guarantee admittance. No top schools, including the publics, can do this. Nor would this be fair.</p>
<p>And for what it’s worth, I was specifically referring to Michigan and UVa: “The student bodies at top publics such as Michigan and UVa are predominantly upper middle class. They are no more socio-economically disadvantaged than typical ivy applicants.” So your point is moot.</p>
<p>FYI, University of Virginia Pell Grants: 8%</p>
