I hate to tell you, but Ivy League schools are FULL of middle class
families.

In 2004, Lawrence Summers, then Harvard’s president, pointed out that
three-fourths of the students at selective colleges come from the top
income quartile and only 9 percent from the bottom two quartiles
combined.


*My father, definitely working class went to Yale, myself and
my son are definitely middle class graduated from Columbia. *Since the
60's, Ivy League schools don't discriminate due to income,

except, of course, that's not what the evidence shows. your elevated
and holy opinion notwithstanding.

you seem to agree with mccain that $5M is middle class

and the
economic demographics of an Ivy League school represent the economic
demographics of America. *Ivy League schools will actually give working
and poor students academic considerations they don't give to middle
class and above students to make sure they do have a balanced class.
Sure there are many wealthy at the schools, but the middle class,
working class and below are the majority of those attending Ivy League
today. * *Starting 2 years after my son started school, all admitting
freshman whose family income was below $75,000 got a 100% scholarship.

20 years ago when I took my niece on a tour of princeton, the guide
said that only 3% of students came from working class families. seems
lawrence summers agrees.

you, of course, with your mcbush view of the world, parrot the rush
limbaugh/fox news view of the world



Your understanding of Ivy League schools is a complete as your
understanding of world economics.

golly. you're right. all i have are the facts

you have truthiness.
