[quote]As someone who grew up poor and received extensive test prep through a program I was in I can tell you that you are wrong. All the paid for college trios, summer job opportunities, etc cannot make up for the basic lack of preparation starting from before preschool and the lack of exposure. If I don't know basic things like what a mantel or a credenza or hummus because of basic lack of life exposure all the test prep in the world can reverse that basic lack of knowledge. If you are curious, I went to an exclusive prep school in NYC but grew up in housing projects near where Jay Z grew up. You are debating out of anger and based on a theory that you have tested in your head but while I admire your energy you are wrong.[/quote]

You went to an exclusive prep school.  What did you learn there?  You sound like an exception and an outlier.  I know many in your shoes who took advantage of an exclusive prep school from the ghetto and climbed the heights of the academic ladder.  Your story does not impress.
