[quote=Anonymous]You have to understand a MAJOR aspect of college admissions at top schools-LEGACY and DONATIONS. In wealthy areas you have more people who went to top schools and donate to those schools. Add to that having the money for tutors, being able to afford to do the most impressive volunteer work because you don't need a job and parents paying to start non-profits "started by their kids" or paying to do other things that make their kids look special. Those same parents make sure to submit things to local and national newspapers for proof to send to the college.[/quote]
