<p>I think being low income and going to a low income school can explain a score that is lower than others who don’t have those challenges.</p>
<p>But, if you’re low income, but you go to a private school or a top public, I don’t think you’re going to get extra consideration.</p>
<p>Besides, top schools are “need blind” so they’re not going to always know who is “low income” or not unless there are other tell tale signs…like a low income school.</p>
