[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it is based not on the student as an individual, but the area. Therefore, if wealthy, highly-educated families moved into bad neighborhoods, they could increase the chances of their child getting into an elite college?[/quote] Well, kind of. If families move to economically segregated neighborhoods, those neighborhoods will become less economically segregated and therefore the "boost" that a child might receive is lowered. Just a reminder that the actual SCORE will not change. There will just be additional context on the report. So, if your well-prepared child who is able to prepare for the SATs with no distractions, and to arrive on test day with a good night's rest and a fully stomach, gets a 1590, that score will be reported just as such. There will also be a "context score" that may or may not make a difference to admissions, depending on the university's own policies. [/quote]
