[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time believing that the Dr. Lawyer family will not have an edge if the college is expensive -and this bugs me- middle class lose all around with the implied first-gen/rich family favoritism.[/quote] I think that as far as admissions is concerned, a great applicant will look even greater if they DON'T have a doctor/lawyer family. If you are not upper class, these questions on the application HELP you. We should not get rid of them. It is much easier to hit a home run if you were born on third base, and colleges know it. These questions are not there to give favoritism to rich people! [/quote]
