One of the points of the radio show is how unbelievably difficult it is for the inner-city kids, even the very smartest. to succeed at a college where they are surrounded by affluent kids. Kids that do are truly the exception, not the rule and it is a huge waste of potential. Apparently, there is a lot of research going on as to how to reach those kids. Sounds like even if the top schools admit more disadvantaged kids, nothing will change unless there is a much stronger support system at both the HS and college level.
