If you’re referring to the article in the NYT, let’s be clear. It is not a ranking of the lowest percentage of lower and middle class students at all. It is a ranking of the ratio of number students from the top 1% to the number of students from the bottom 60%. That is not the same as saying they have the least number of lower and middle class students. They may have a lot of those students, but they also have a high number of the very wealthy as well. It may be how Middlebury affords to remain need blind.
