Some Colleges Have More Students From the Top 1 Percent Than the Bottom 60. Find Yours.

[Zinhead]

Just as a college has every right (within the law) to assemble the class it wants, families too have the right (again within the law) to make the situation as advantageous to themselves as possible. A college’s desire to create a economically diverse class does not supersede a family’s goal to minimize its costs.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Since elite colleges have effectively made tuition a percentage of income and assets, it makes sense for smart people to minimize the income and assets to the extent allowable under the rules that the colleges make up.
