<p>antonioray and cheeseball:</p>
<p>I used QuestBridge, which obviously identified me as low-income. I also have a single parent at an obviously low-paying job with only a high school degree. I live in a lower-income zip code. I also work 25 hours/week (and have since I was 15). These are pretty big “tells” in and of themselves. I also wrote about it in my essays, since my socioeconomic status has shaped my life.</p>
