So what I’m wondering is, is financial aid severely lacking in helping low income families send their kids to top schools? Or are lower income families proportionally less likely to raise children who qualify for top schools (as compared to higher income families)?
Would that question be answered by overlaying the tuition costs in a box-and-whisker pattern? I think it would better address your question. It’d also be interesting to see how long it takes each group to pay off borrowing—effectively, if $100K+ parent borrowing is just used as a short-term installment plan.
