Isn't that 82% number pretty misleading? Many of them are from affluent families who covered the full cost of attendance, as opposed to benefiting from a financial aid system that is one of the most generous in the nation to those of lesser means. I'm a brobdingnagian fan of how the undergrad helps make Stanford financially accessible to all accepted (domestic) candidates, but I do not like the 82% number being thrown out as an example of that because it is not.

Also, at least they are not giving the biggest financial aid rewards to those who need it the least (cough, cough, Business School).

Edit: How does 'I'm-a-h u g e-fan' turn into I am of exceedingly large proportions ...
