Really? Can you show evidence for that?

I know several lower-middle-class Asian and white kids who won admittance to Ivy League schools -- but who couldn't afford to attend.

The fact is, financial aid officers at those schools will laugh in your face if you ask them about need-based scholarships for a non-URM ("underrepresented minority") student. Non-URM parents are expected to take on a huge loan.

To be perfectly blunt, it is extremely rare for white children - especially ones with blueblood pedigrees - to receive need-based scholarships.

The Park School serves Baltimore, a city that is 65% black and more than 70% minority - it is not that the school has a shortage of traditional need-based applicants.

Unscrupulous people can play all sorts of games with the their tax returns to show need.
