With schools trying to diversify their student population, do rich, upper class kids get the short end of the stick?

It used to be that if you went to a private elite school, got good grades and did extra-curricular activities, then you’d be guaranteed a spot in an Ivy League school.

But this year, not a single student from Dalton, an elite Manhattan private school was accepted at Harvard. And for $31,200 in tuition a year, parents are pissed off.

This new trend in admissions seems to be a result of Ivies waving tuition fees to get a more rounded student population—and not only offer admissions to students who are economically advantaged.

More low and modern income students are applying as a result. And that means more competition. Looks like the Ivies are figuring out how to even the playing field.

And it looks like students are going to be accepted based on talent instead of social standing.
