The thing is, there is a substantial bias that aids poor people in general, not in the admission process, but in the process of actually going to school.
Even though the private colleges have price tags up in the $40k+ range, the average middle-class family will end up paying around $20k, and truly poor people generally pay as much if not less than they would for a state school.
The admission process is a crapshoot, and I don't really see any reason to whine about arbitrary stuff like this. They have to rule some people out, it's mostly random once you get past a certain point, and even if it isn't, I don't think it's particularly harmful. Not everyone can get in.
