[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... I would think that an applicant with all of these qualifications but and had to overcome adversity of some kind would stand out. I don't know really know how else an applicant from a middle-high income family can stand out these days.[/quote] Yes, if you're deciding between two applicants with essentially interchangeable stats (GPA, SAT, APs, etc), wouldn't you want to pick the one who accomplished those things despite a more difficult path? It's sort of like picking Ginger Rogers over Fred Astaire, because she did everything he did ... but backwards and in heels.[/quote] Hey, I like that analogy. Works for just about everything women do compared to men :)[/quote]
