* For wealthy universities like Stanford, Harvard, et al., the current complaint that I have seen most often among those who generally understand the situation is that while sure Stanford provides generous aid for those who get admitted and need it, they have admissions policies that don't allow many needy students in - thus effectively negating the generous aid policies.

I'm quoting this because it deserves to be read again, and for those who missed it the first time.

I assume he means in a more general sense where things like SATs, AP classes, extracurriculars, etc correlated strongly with family wealth. I certainly knew almost no one who would qualify as poor at Stanford. Pretty much everyone came from a wealthier family than mine (and we were decidedly middle class).
