My families and her lifestyle is pretty good now. She drives a brand new 2017 Mazda CX-5 SUV she got for her graduation gift from my parents, studied abroad for a semester in France, wears designer clothes, and doesn't receive any financial aid. However, according to AMCAS, she may be able to qualify as disadvantaged given:
Her mom was on food stamps and WIC while she was born and she was on medicaid for like the first 5 years of her life
(My dad was still a graduate student so our income was very low for the first half of our child hood and my mom worked odd jobs trying to make ends meet).
English wasn't widely spoken at home
Although the high school she went to was ranked in the top 500 nationally, 48% of students at that school received free or reduced lunch.
