[quote=Anonymous]Getting into high performing colleges is largely about wealth as a study published by the NYT this week bears out. Being a child of an alum of a high performing college or excelling at a country club sport typically significant time/money investment over years) also helps. Colleges, even selective ones, need students who can pay the full price or close to it with somewhat of a discount (called merit aid or a scholarship). Time and again admissions office say that performance in high school classes is the strongest predictor of how someone will perform in college -- yet a high SAT/ACT score will allow a less talented student to squeak through. And SAT/ACT results can be significantly increased through paid test prep.
