Interestingly enough, many elite schools have need-blind admissions and excellent aid if you are poor. If you are rich, it's affordable. As usual, it's the middle class that gets screwed.

- maxerickson 7y agoDepends a lot on how you define "middle class" and "screwed". For example: https://financialaid.stanford.edu/undergrad/how/index.html https://financialaid.stanford.edu/undergrad/how/index.html https://college.harvard.edu/guides/financial-aid-fact-sheet https://college.harvard.edu/guides/financial-aid-fact-sheet
