This interesting article by the Washington Post takes a look at the “admissions gap” between students from high-income households compared to students from low-income households. It shows that students who can afford the programs such as SAT prep and college counseling are given a greater advantage in the admissions process. “SAT scores march up by about 30 to 50 points for every $20,000 in family income.” This failure to maintain a level playing field for admissions has led many colleges to begin to reconsider entrance exam requirements.
