I understand the logic behind why colleges do this, but it just seems unfair to place lower standards to those who came from “disadvantaged” backgrounds. I come from a lower-middle class neighborhood with slightly below average opportunities as I come from a fairly small town. Growing up and in high school I never had any tutors, any act/sat classes or anything like that, but still excelled (#1 in class, 34 ACT), but someone who came from a “disadvantaged” background with the same stats would presumably be held to slightly lower standards, even if the challenges faced were similar. @theloniusmonk
