low income?

Applying to College

<p>so i have a question. im a current senior. </p>

<p>after going to numerous college presentations, it seems like every rep says that he/ she will look at each applicant's app in context of their environment. </p>

<p>does anyone know how exactly they do that? </p>

<p>for example, what if bc of family circumstances you're from a low income family but you live in an area that has mostly people from the middle class? </p>

<p>would they expect you to have the same opportunities as those around you such as SAT tutoring, college counselor, etc? </p>

<p>thank you so much!</p>

<p>low income as in your family makes 1/3 of what an average family would make in the same area before the econ crisis.</p>

<p>also, does anyone know which schools are generous with financial aid?</p>

<p>The schools with generous financial aid are mostly the same ones that go around the country doing admission presentations. They can afford it. </p>

<p>You mention your economic circumstances somewhere in your application if they made a big difference in your life.</p>
