[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We aren’t low income as a family or first generation to attend college, but live in a low income zip code and teen attends large public title 1 school.  Will graduate in top 1%, lots of DE and AP classes, expecting SAT to be above 1500 based on PSAT scores.  No national awards, but some cool ECs, strong leadership, job, interesting hobby.  No one, or rarely anyone, applies to college out of state.  He is wanting a school in top 5-20 (which are all out of state). Does coming from a school with limited resources and no one from your high school applying give an admission boost? [/quote]

Um, no. If anything, it's probably a detriment.

Do you have some cynical notion that admissions officers will look more favorably on a child who has "survived" a ... what ... ghetto environment or some shit like that?[/quote]

DP.

Completely disagree.

My kids are at a Title I school that punches well above its weight in admissions. Multiple T10 admits every year, even for kids who are not FGLI or otherwise preferred.[/quote]
