You are confirming the point that was made!! It is harder for "poor folks" to get in. It is easier for wealthy kids to get in.
You should state ".. and I had to work my way in there - my folks aren't wealthy!" as a bi-sentence every time you mention your education. I bet most people immediately would understand what it implied: This is an achiever!
- morgante 10y agoNo I'm not. Even if fewer poor students get in, that definitely does not mean you can make the reverse assumption: that everyone who attended an elite university is wealthy. For all we know, these results are dominated by poor students who worked hard enough to get into an elite university (which, by the way, wouldn't be a crazy assumption: my CS classes had a lot more income diversity than, for example, political science ones).
