"A new study by the Jack Cook Foundation finds that only 3 percent of students at our most selective colleges come from the 25 percent of families with the lowest incomes, while 72 percent come from the richest 25 percent of families.
This is compounded by the fact that once admitted, poor students soar academically. According to the study, the poor students who do attend these elite schools graduate at equal rates and earn similarly high grades as their wealthy peers.
Today at selective colleges we have affirmative action for the wealthy."
