<p>That article equates correlation with causation. Just because an applicant is weathly does not mean they’re getting into a good school. The part where wealth comes into play could be in things like the ecs they were able to participate in (how many lower-income students get to do things like study abroad?), or the school they go to (many boarding school gcs have good relations with Yale admissions), but being wealthy does not CAUSE them to be accepted. </p>
