<p>There is, no doubt, that there is great inequality in education and wealth has a great deal to do with it (also the stupid burdens politicians place on public schools that privates can ignore). I think there are wonderful public schools that do as good or even a better job of preparing students for college than most private schools. If you keep working and studying I bet you can improve your scores and work your way into the college of your choice. While hard work cannot make up for wealth and the opportunity to attend a prep school it can give you the chance you desire. Good Luck!!</p>
