<p>^Based on the messages that schools try to send about increasing diversity both racial and socioeconomic, I don't think it's simply best and brightest: a poor person is just as intelligent as a well-off student, but may not have as many opportunities. For example, consider:</p>
<p>Upper class high income child from the suburbs with a 2300 SAT and amazing EC's and 4.0 GPA</p>
<p>Lower Income with very few opportunities child with 2100 SAT and "solid" EC's and a 3.7 GPA</p>
<p>Based on the new philosophy, they should both be around even, right?</p>
<p>looks to me like lower and higher income</p>
