<p>Stephennn- I just suppose I mean financial aid. When you send your fafsa, obviously income is a factor. Schools often talk about making education affordable/available for all, and if they truly meant that, applying for finaid wouldn’t be a barb now would it?</p>
<p>And like I said: Major generalization- the income divide is a broad issue, not specific and not universal. Of course, people make wide assumptions all the time in college admissions. I could say that the richer you are, the more likely you are to score high on the SAT- which is mainly true, but negates the fact that people of lesser incomes can score just as high, or people of higher, just as low. See what I mean? It’s <em>mostly</em> true that an URM or non-college degree bearing person will make less than the rest of the population, but obviously not for your family in particular. Glad your parents make so much.</p>
