I don't know if either that's actually true, or just how poor you have to be to be considered middle or low income, but I'm on the college application treadmill and the schools seem to consider you "high income" if you bring in enough income to pay for the cost of college, whether or not there's anything left over afterward.

The price (30-40k a year) is equivalent to a lot of good state schools in-state (Berkeley, UVA, UMich, etc) at about 180-200k family income.
