Yes, omg, I completely agree. Your thoughts have resonated with me. Like, someone who comes from generational wealth in Omaha may have millions in the bank but below $125,000 in family income. And someone in NYC making $150,000 I'd say 66% of that goes to taxes and rent and transport at a bare minimum. >busting ass on the SATs probably less subjective than a video of you dancing I can see arguments going both ways for this. It will really depend on the admissions' committee's agenda and bias and process controls. If the school as a whole really wants rich kids to attend (this was the case in 2009 when the University of Chicago merged their Admissions and Financial Aid Departments)... ... then the Admissions department will probably start accepting dance videos that are quite obviously produced by someone with money and class-power. There are countless ways that someone could imply wealth in a self-produced audition video and even just in an essay. But if the committee wants to select for impoverished families only, then they could do that too. They already have a ton of data. Idk, the process is all rigged every way you look at it. What really needs to happen is college shouldn't be the make/break between a decent career in the USA...
