NONE???  Are you living in a dream world?  Sure, I am fortunate to have
recieved a scholarship from Bell Labs to MIT.  How about the hundreds
of other (equally able) entering freshman who are mortgaging their souls
in order to go there?  MIT offered me work/study in order to reduce my 
parent's cost to *only* 12,000.  When my father saw that, he laughed.
We all knew that there was no way we could come up with that kind of money,
CSS analysis or no.  Let's face facts:  I know entirely too many people with
SAT's in the same range as mine who are attending the nearest state university
(or, gag, community college) simply because they CANNOT afford anything else.
