Shifting Balance of Lower/Middle/Upper Classes in Admissions

That’s exactly what’s happening. Due to high cost and no/low aid and no merit scholarships at these colleges, middle class students can’t attend schools they qualify for or dream of while poor and wealthy can attend these schools.

A middle class family envious of what it sees are the college financial aid opportunities that the poor get can easily become poor by switching to low paid jobs and giving away all or nearly all of its assets.
