My family income is around ~90k as of now but last year it used to be 30 k so it jumped up by almost 3 times the amount between these years. I grew up low income and for almost all of my time in middle school, freshman and sophomore year my family struggled with money. I was thinking of applying for QuestBridge has I have the course rigor, ECs, SAT scores and GPA for QuestBridge but I am concerned about my chances since my income is above the ~$65k and my family is also only 3 people even though I grew up low income all of my life and still have yet to see the benefits of this income increase ( my parents have a lot of personal debt accumulated and they also owe a lot of money because of the mortgage of our home).
Should I explain my circumstances and apply to QuestBridge or not waste my time because my 2017 income is too high?
