<p>@terenc - Your logic is faulty. Having a large percentage of students from wealthy families on campus does not necessarily indicate that adcoms consider economic factors in their decisions.</p>
<p>Wealthy people tend to be smarter than average. People who are smarter than average tend to marry other smart people and have children who are smarter than average. Thus, smart children tend to have children who are smart. These smart children also usually grow up around other smart people who encourage their intellectual curiosity.</p>
<p>Archie Manning has two sons who are All-Pro quarterbacks. Does that mean that the NFL takes the family’s economic status into account when they determine rosters? Or does it mean that Payton and Eli have natural gifts and top rate coaching that has resulted in tremendous success?</p>
