[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]tests favor well off kids. but so do "rigor of coursework". I'm in Brooklyn .. if my kid just went to HS in my neighborhood there would be no rigor at all. but we're well off and have the time to do the research (but not the money to pay 50k or more for private here).. athletics favor well off. extra curricular favor well off. I dont get the 'tests are racist' thing. The country is racist. Poverty impacts opportunity. That's in every section of the common app.[/quote] I’d argue it’s classist, not racist. Those that have the least educational opportunity - and thus our not favored at all in this application race/process - tend to be at the bottom of the rung socioeconomically. Regardless of race.[/quote]
