<p>Mini, I'm trying so hard to understand your point of view, since I'm sure you've got the financial aspect analyzed well.</p>
<p>When you wrote, "But even if it did, most are just not getting in, and there are reasons for that."</p>
<p>What do you think are the reasons?
1. Are such kids not applying (discouraged by financial indicators)
2. When applying, not getting the nod from the AdComs because their applications sound "blah" even where the schools are "need-blind"?
3. When admitted, not able to handle the finaid package they receive?
4. Shock and awe, a failure of nerve...</p>
<p>What is it?</p>
<p>It's okay if you don't know. Actually it's up to the colleges themselves to figure it out, but I'm just wondering if you have a hunch, or data on WHY?</p>
