$125,000 is a healthy bit above the USA median household income.
Bay Area median household income is much closer to that number, but still below $125K based on recent articles in the media. Nice to know that Stanford is simply a much better deal than UCB for families with income below $125K. Often with aid, Stanford is better for a significant group above that number too. Sadly that narrative that Stanford is too expensive for lower income families still discourages many from applying. Sigh...
The 5.046% admit rate was not highlighted, but that should leave Stanford as most selective again. Harvard should come in at 5.3% based on their self reported total number of applications a few weeks ago.
Really amazed to see that Vanderbilt now is below that 10% admit rate too. I guess the world of applications has changed a lot since the increases in applications at these selective schools over the last 5-10 years is far greater than the demographic growth in the USA.
