[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many low-income kids are from families that can afford to live in a “good” school zone or attend private k-12, even if some FA is offered? How many poor kids do you think went to Kumon or Mathnasium? Or got to participate in club sports? I could go on.[/quote] And that is why the elite unversities have holistic admissions and will take students who might not have 15 APs, a 4.9+ gpa and 1580+ SAT. Poor kids are disadvantaged for the first 18 years of their life and majority do not have access to same education to achieve the high level. So those that do and/or come close do it thru hard work and dedication only. These kids are smart and will go far given the right situation (ie. college that they can afford)[/quote]
