The bulk of Ivy League undergraduates come from white-collar professional families. You can quibble about whether that's "upper middle-class" or "middle-class", I suppose, but you don't find most of them at the yacht club.

Interesting. I studied low at Harvard for two years in the middle 80s. Around 75% of my colleagues were from "yacht club" families. Maybe the things have changed since.

Harvard Law school is very different from Harvard undergrad. I'm sure it skews even more highly toward the rich-daddy set.
