Columbia Student Writes About How She Bought Her Way Into College

<p>The only part I buy in her argument, aside from the prep course = good sat score, is that having more money does offer you more opportunities to volunteer. Not because you literally have more opportunities but because you have more time to volunteer. Low income students more often than not will be working to support their families instead of volunteering. A second job, however, is still something one can put on a application. So her argument is still flawed, just not in the way people have been saying.</p>
