It sounds like you’re saying anyone with a low income who isn’t a genius cannot attend college. I know that’s not true. Both of us have GPAs and test scores that are above average (hers slightly, and mine significantly.) I don’t see how that achievement can mean that we can’t get enough aid to go to college when a large amount of other people who go to college have lower stats than us. I’m sure not all of them are upper-class families who are capable of paying off tuition themselves. </p>
<p>Raising my test scores much higher is pretty much an impossible feat. My whole school has horrible test scores, with mine being toward the top of test scores in my class. My school is not one that you can attend and expect to get good test scores with the knowledge you acquired there. With that education alone, there’s no hope of getting a score much higher than my 1750 without additional help, which costs money that we do not have. </p>

I have looked at Loyola. Like I said, it didn’t really appeal to me, but I guess it’s the only place I could get aid from given my * horrible, above-average * test scores.</p>
