[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Logically, if someone has high need, they probably didn't have the resources, quality of education, support, or opportunities that applicants from rich families did. [/b]The child of lawyers in McLean shouldn't be judged by the same academic standards as the child of a single mother who never attended college from Anacostia. E.g., someone from that background who has a 1400 SAT score and a 3 on a few APs will probably do much better in college than the lawyer's kid with a 1550 and 5s on a dozen APs.[/quote] You can say logically, but how does that explain all of our poor parents who got high test scores, were top of the class, etc. and admitted to ivies, MIT, and the like without any other preference factors and excelled in college and real life afterwards? nice story.
