This article dovetails a bit with the Time April 18 article “What Colleges Want Now” had a concern for “as many as 18,000 low income kids in America who could get into a top school but didn’t apply to even one.”
There seems to be a lack of concern by some of these kind of articles for the majority of students - from low to high middle class families who are juggling a lot of financial issues with their college students. Some have planned better financially than others for college expenses, and some find they get ‘penalized’ by their financial planning.
I wonder what kind of balance some of these colleges/universities consider for true diversity of incoming students.
