I think this is the ultimate solution. Of course people will still try to game this system by e.g. sending their kids to high school in poorer districts.

- ravar 7y agoArguably if people try to game the system in that way it would be socially good. Don't we want the privileged people going to the same schools as poorer people?
- sushid 7y agoBecause it’s zero sum? The rich kid pretending to be poor is taking away a seat from an actual poor kid.
- kelnos 7y agoIsn't that easy to detect, though? The FAFSA (among other things?) requires disclosing family income (and assets?). The university gets to see all this stuff (well, the FAFSA applicant lists schools that get to see it). If they see "family makes $300k/yr and has $2M in assets" and "kid goes to a poor high school not in his/her normal district", they can say "hah, nice try", and toss their application in the bin.
