<p>LIVING is easier for the wealthy. So, yup, middle/lower income kids will have to work harder, but that's sort of a given. Some people have to clean their house themselves, others pay someone to do it... that argument can apply to most situations, and there's nothing we can really do about it.</p>
<p>Luckily, it's still possible. And if admissions doesn't work out, you can't blame income- sure, it's a factor, but it's not the biggest factor at all. The most important thing is what the student does, not what the counselor does.</p>
<p>And I also agree that it's nice to be poor once the financial aid comes in. Really. I have almost nothing to pay, which is BEAUTIFUL. I seriously couldn't be more happy. (Take note: apply to 100% need met schools!)</p>
