College admissions is an unfair game.

<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>

<p>I am with Brillar. There are far, far more essential things than college that are unfair in that money makes a big difference. Medical care, for one. It is a capitalist society we have.</p>

<p>no i think its better to be the wealthy one who doesnt even need to apply for financial aid, afford the SAT prep, hire the best tutors, etc..</p>
