<p>yeah that’s just my opinion. they’re by no means accurate. i think for the income if you make 150+ you can probably pay for it yourself and if you make less than 50 you shouldn’t have to pay for much so that is also beneficial since ivies are need blind. i dont think the type of family matters much unless someone is in college. race i think urm is benefit with white being a slight negative and asian being a bit more negative. perfect scores and grades are always good for ivies. but by no means a big guarantee</p>

<p>For those of you who were like ??? to nuclear family,
it means a houshold of both parents and children usually 1-2.
basically, a NORMAL household</p>

<p>Some of these aren’t easy. It depends on the school and then if the school is need-blind. I’ll do the top tier of schools, but this is extremely iffy at best, given the nature of ranking these things.</p>

<p>things like family and rather uncommon situations like that are generally more effective when used in the essay or as an obstacle towards your education… :/</p>
