<p>It’s a pretty generic article, and completely California centric. I was surprised that the article said nothing about wait lists, double deposits, summer melt due to finances and so forth.</p>

<p>It was interesting to see the Occidental comments about their yield being lowest for middle class, presumably due to financial issues. I have not seen that topic mentioned by a college official before. Has anyone else?</p>
