For Whom the Pell Rolls (Toward Graduation)

From the Washington Post:

For disadvantaged students, getting into a top college is a significant feat. But getting a diploma matters far more. Among 100 major public universities across the country — state flagships and other prominent schools — only 11 report a six-year graduation rate of at least 80 percent for students with enough financial need to qualify for federal Pell Grants:

                                      Grad Rate  Pell Grad Rate 
---------------------------------------------------------------           
University of Virginia-Main               94%         93%
University of California-Berkeley         92          89
University of California-Los Angeles      91          88
---------------------------------------------------------------

Note: No other UC campuses are on the Washington Post's list.

it looks like the WaPo simply omitted every other UC campus, whose grad rates and Pell rates are all better than most of these.
