<p>emeraldkity, Yes but at highly selective schools where better than 70% of applicants are “qualified” but less than 20% are admitted, low-income “qualified” applicants are more likely admitted. I would venture to guess that at highly selective schools where about 20% of the students are fully funded by FA, it is unlikely that 20% of the applicants are in this category. </p>
<p>That is not to say that they are not well deserving but just pointing out that it is a hook.</p>
