Hmm I guess so, people who can’t afford college on their own are more likely to answer. Though don’t think that’s sufficient incentive to lie.
Out of fellows I’ve talked to about this, I can count 12 distinct people that can’t easily afford college and 5 that can. Some quotes:
I took a full-ride scholarship instead of paying to attend an Ivy League
I would benefit from a full ride, but the initial atlas money is enough because I do not plan on going to college for more than a semester or two
If I had a full ride scholarship, I would have chosen to attend MIT in a heartbeat. As it was, it took several months of deliberation
Though I guess a few examples + the sample of fellows I’m close with isn’t sufficient evidence. How would you design a better question to gauge the percentage of fellows that can afford college comfortably from their parents’ income? If you want more data, I can perhaps poll the server.
