I already know that colleges "love" to have students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. However, do you think it’s odd that most people who go to highly selective colleges come from well-to-do families? IMO, it really shows that the admissions process is slanted in favor of wealthier students. What do you think?
I agree with that. Students with money go to better schools with better resources and end up with better grades, therefor getting into better colleges, it is an unfortunate cycle and I see it where I live all the time. We are in the lower end, most of the students here are in packed schools and don’t end up going to very good colleges, though some do. So I don’t think that it is directly because they have money, just because of what their money has gotten them. It is easy to do well in school if your parents can send you to a great private high school and can afford to hire you a tutor!
