<p>Middle class seems to be where the inequity lies. Kids next door to each other with the same lifestyle have very different EFCs. Everyone agrees that society benefits from providing financial aid to the poor. But does society benefit from providing financial aid to the middle class? Is it written somewhere that anyone should be able to attend any school to which they are acccepted? Middle class kids don’t NEED to go to Ivy League schools. I vote for meeting 100% need for poor and providing merit scholarships for middle class. But then this isn’t up for vote.</p>
