[quote=Anonymous]I think having a peer cohort is important, however, that doesn't mean you can only get it at a W school, and actually, while you can easily find an academic cohort at a W school, those schools also have other issues due to too much wealth and not enough diversity. It is harder to get that cohort in a school with a very high farms rate, though, simply because of the numbers. I think a school with caring and awesome teachers, great ECs and about a 20% or so FARMs rate is the ideal. There was a study that found that low income students do best in a school that has less than about a 20% FARMs rate. Anything above that, the performance level goes down. A school with too many of either of the extreme income spectrum has too many issues related to that extreme income bracket.[/quote]
