“^^They can get a perfect score but the adversity score will some how make it seem like less of an accomplishment or somehow expected given all their advantages and privileges.”
@vpa2019 It strikes me that this is already the case to some extent. For instance: I live in the Chicago area, where there are some very large, very “prestigious” high schools (like New Trier in the northern suburbs, and Hinsdale Central to the west). In a very real way, seniors at these high schools have a tough road because they are competing against each other – certain colleges and universities may receive 200-300 applications each year from students at these schools, and a lot of those applications come from people with very competitive stats and ECs. But a school like, say, University of Michigan can’t or won’t take 100 students from New Trier – maybe it will take 10 or 20?
