美国人口统计局2021发布的家庭2019收入，中位数68400美元:
家庭年收入 比例
5万美元以下 37.1%
50000-74999 （68400@50%） 16.5%
75000-99999 12.3%
100000-149999 15.5%
150000-199999 8.3%
200000以上 10.3%
从哈佛公开信息分析得出：
家庭经济 对应年收入 占录取者比例 费用
最富1% >$500000 15% 全自费+捐巨款
次富9% 200k-500k 30% 全自费
中上10% 140k-200k 25% 自付额14k-70k
中等30% 70k-140k 10% 自付额7k-14k
剩下50% <$70000 20% full ride
Top 1%净资产4.4米，达标者2百万户，不过难入T5法眼，Top 0.1% UHNWI (ultra-high net worth individual)，净值30米以上才行，他们捐的钱是学费的N倍。
为什么20万年收入以上通常要付全费？各校NPC较准，EFC来自收入和财产，粗算如下：
收入 200000 （gross，并非AGI）
减实际税率 德州21%，加州27%，纽约市30%，含FICA，联邦州市收入税，税率随收入递增
减基数 33000 （四口之家，多1人少1人+/-4660）
乘47% 德州为例 (200000x79%-33000)x47%=58750=收入部分的EFC
自住房净值 T5, Dartmouth, Rice只要净值没超过当地市场中位数，不计入EFC。有些学校把相当于年收入1.2-2.5倍净值纳入财产。
财产 银行股市+藏床垫的+自住房之外的房地产+529等等，假设30万, 紫檀零头
乘5.64% T5为例，不计自住房，只算其它300000x5.64%=16920=财产部分的EFC
EFC=58750+16920=75670
H2021账单=74528（不含医疗保险，旅行购物外餐等个人费用）
孩子年打工收入不要超过$6600，超过部分100块算EFC50块；孩子若财产单独开户，EFC直接扣20%（父母5.64%），把钱放到父母名下，孩子挂靠即可。有华人家庭年入7万交全费的，因有2个出租房，国内祖父母外祖父母给孩子的20万美元全放在孩子自己名下。
美国家庭年收入中位数$68400，在这个数字之下，如能上T19，学费生活费几乎全免，the privileged poor.
巨富不在乎那点钱，特穷全免，中间倒霉，最不幸的是中等家庭年入70K-140K，占人口30%，只有名校10%份额。
