[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the majority of people are ok with affirmative action based on SES as you described it. The problem is, when they look into it, the vast majority of poor but high scoring kids are rural white kids (~70% in the studies I saw). That’s the absolute last demographic that most selective colleges want to help.[/quote] I hate to "well, actually" you, but, well, actually, a number of esteemed colleges have been pretty aggressive in seeking rural students (75% of whom are white), which represents a significantly underrepresented demographic at most elite colleges which overflow with suburban and city kids. Dartmouth indicated that it was one of their institutional priorities this year (i.e., a hook) and other schools like WashU have expressed a similar sentiment.
