since when?  the look at money saved when the figure out financial aid.

I get that once the family income gets to a certain point they just assume the family can pay for things and then the family decides whether to pay or take out loans..  Middle income might have 50K-100K saved and thats great but you can assume they are gonna send 2-3-4 kids thru college with it and have nothing left in the bank.  and poor kids I get that too, so supplement them, Pell grants for spending money, etc.  But they shouldnt come out vastly ahead of 70% of the students going to the same school .

I have had  this talk with financial aid people at 10+ schools.. Every one was surprised when we talked finances and that the kids were taking out loans and that parents were not footing the bill for school.  I said i dont care if you are making 200K a yr, you probably dont have an extra 50K a yr unused after paying for a house a couple cars, 3-4 cellphones, internet/cable etc.. And when the 2-3rd kid go to school they didnt spread that load out either its just another 50K at another school
