<p>Post #16 - Agree with this completely. Simply using income level is not indicative of an applicant’s “disadvantage.” (Setting aside fraud in reporting income, which I have no doubt occurs on a not-irregular basis), there are plenty of elite college grads, lawyers, and Ph.D.s who, for one reason or another (including simply by choice), have incomes in the low ranges. Their children can hardly be said to be raised in academically disadvantaged environments.</p>
