I was wondering if you apply as disadvantaged and you really are. (lets say economically more so and you explain it fine), if that negatively affects your admission?
The reason i say this is because lets say at the top tier schools, more so the privates: 1. they want someone who can afford their tuition. 2. they don't give you an interview so you can pay to fly out, if they don't think you are completely up to par to get in? 3. it seems like those who have a line of family doctors also have an edge, so how does being from a family where you are the first to graduate from college get you in? 4. And or other reasons I'm not aware of...
Like do they put you in pile of disadvantaged applicants and select a few from it, or are you still looked at the same as everyone else, but maybe more leniently.
I just don't want to be placed in a separate pile because of it, and I will def pay for an interview to harvard, i'll just put it on a credit card, and hope to pay it later.
Maybe i'm just thinking in to it too much.
