> -Ivy League admittees are mostly composed of the middle class, not the elite.
Harvard says otherwise:
“ The median family income for Harvard undergraduates is $168,800—more than three times the national median, according to a recent study.
$168k family income may be upper-middle class (just barely these days — that’s two fairly moderate white collar incomes), but it’s still middle class.

The national median over what? When I was looking for similar figures in Finland, I found that the median income for households with two parents and at least one child was about twice the median over all households. And it's plausible that the median would be even higher for households with two parents and at least one child about to reach college age.
