Even with great stats, does a low EFC rule out Tier 1 schools?

<p>No, I don’t think private college admission-plus-aid is an unalienable right. My point was just that low economic status is a demographic that is attractive to many colleges. But if you come from a relatively comfortable/privileged background and don’t have the money for another reason – e.g., job layoff, real estate loss, bad investments – then you may not fall into the favored demographic. Somehow I don’t see this group as having much lobbying power. :)</p>
