<p>blubayou, I looked at the article again, and I believe your math is correct based on the information we are given. So the headline should have been: Only FIVE percent of freshman do not attend their first choice school due to money </p>
<p>That to me is truly surprising. So the vast majority either has the money or begs borrows and/or steals enough money to attend their first choice school... or chooses an affordable 1st choice in the first place.... or decides they love where they are after all.</p>
