WSJ: College Loans Hit Upper Middle Class Hardest

<p>The list of colleges meeting full need may be relatively short, but it is only the schools that meet the needs of 100% (on average - not sure what they mean in this case) of their undergraduate students. Many publics don’t make the list, because they don’t meet 100% need for OOS, but do in fact meet it from in-state students. Then you also have schools like JHU which met 99.7% of need. I would consider that meeting full need, given that calculations can vary a bit anyway. Vanderbilt made the list this year, but fell short in 2011. Washington and Lee was on the list for 2011, but missed it in 2010. There may be significantly more schools that come pretty close to meeting full need.</p>
