<p>Unfortunately, you can’t really see the figure, but if I remember the numbers correctly, the average income for a family was in the range of $200-$300 thousand. They broke it up by race, too. White families earned the most. Even URM families averaged close to $200 thousand.</p>
<p>I forget the number but somewhere between 40-50% of the students are on financial aid.</p>
<p>Supposedly, the numbers were found to be in line with our peer universities, though. I don’t know those numbers, however.</p>
