I dunno--I think "upper middle class" is a clever euphemism invented by rich people to try to convince the actual middle class that they're a lot like us, just a little more "upper." Someone with the means to send their kid to Cornell or Harvard doesn't strike me as being very close to middle class. Being in tech, I've worked with a good number of Director-level people discussing their kids' private schooling, their -multiple- live-in nannies, and their Tahoe vacation home, yet they'd insist they were middle class.
