Also, most of the Ivies, especially the big boys like Harvard, have endowments in the billions of dollars, and could very well afford to, and do, allow lower-income students full rides.

EDIT: After recently going through the college process myself, I can guarantee that ivies and other "top" colleges are severely overrated, and it's better to attend a school that you feel fits you best. Large universities have less time for each student and don't have to work to maintain their prestige so they don't really care about their students that much. It's important to not dumb yourself down (for example, if you have a 33 ACT you shouldn't go somewhere where the average is a 26) because then you just likely won't fit in with the student body, but you should go where you feel you will be able to have access to opportunities and the help you need if you are struggling in a class. Congrats to this student for proving that he can get into elite universities, and extra congrats for understanding what a scam they tend to be.

@Sudhir Kakar Generational wealth income disparity plays a role in regards to the differences between average black college grad wealth and average white high school grads in a significant way. Most white highschool graduates come from families of predominantly rural backgrounds that more likely than not own homes as compared to urban background individuals, predominantly black. You also have to take into account certain ethnic groups of blacks, such as Nigerians for example, tend to have higher rates of academic success and income than thier African-American counter parts. Prior to emigration, they are typically wealthier on average as well, coming from affluent backgrounds. If this kid graduates, there is no guarantee he'll be earning less or significantly more, but with scores that high, he'll more than likely be better off financially than the average person here in the US. As for affirmative action, I don't approve of it necessarily, but I can see why someone would support it in hopes of narrowing the disparity, but ironically it only perpetuates systemic inequality.

1989osu Actually, Ivy League schools have some of the biggest grade inflation of any university. It's a lot easier to perform well and get A grades at Harvard for example than it is at other private and state schools. This is because these "elite" private universities attempt to maintain near 100% graduation rates through allowing essentially the entire class to have near perfect grades. The workload, class difficulty, and rigor is less at these schools. If this student was afraid of a difficult workload at a university, he would be better off at an Ivy League.

A full ride is much more worth than a partial at a highly renowned school. Kudos

If he couldn't afford it, he would have gotten a full ride at Ivies too. Students from ivies and other top schools have some of the lowest student loan debt. Ivies are literally cheaper than regular colleges for most people. MIT for example waives off tuition fee and hostel fee and even contributes some amount to food and also allows you to work for them so that you won't have to take a loan if your family income is below 90k.

We’re going to be hearing a lot more from this incredibly wise young man.

It's sad to me that stories like this are celebrated as wholesome. Here's a young man who was intelligent and driven enough to go to attend any of the most prestigious colleges in the country, but they cost too much to be accessible to him and his family. $200K for a degree is outrageous. I'm sure he got a good education at U of A, but to me this speaks to the need to make all higher education free.

Personally, having gone through a solid but not a prestigious undergrad and medical school myself, I personally believe that going to these expensive but prestigious schools definitely help down the line.
