Here's the REAL problem:
Yeah, sure, 60% of their kids get financial aid. But not if their parents are middle class. If your household is > $150k, which is middle to even lower middle class in a lot of the country, you won't get anything from them. So their 60% on financial aid student population is made up of 40-50% DEI admittances, 20-10% poor kids with great resumes, and the rest are rich legacy kids who don't care if it's $90k or $190k.
The working middle class of America is being frozen out of the "elite" institutions, regardless of how hard their kids work. In a generation, schools like Wellesley will no longer be elite, as kids who would once have been successful lifelong alumni donors went to "lesser" public schools and donate their money there, while Wellesley will have produced a generation of SJWs who aren't good for much else and donate elsewhere if they can even afford it.

Which are you talking about? The "working middle class" or families making more than $150k/year? Those are 2 separate groups

Over $150k might be middle to lower middle class in probably 1% of the country, not a lot of the country.
