<p>“As a matter of fact, I often tell Hispanic students who are obviously well off financially (eg. they state their family income, they’re not applying for FA, they attended expensive summer programs, etc.) that they shouldn’t expect to be accepted to selective schools with lower stats that non-URM candidates.”

“I agree that everyone should apply for FA no matter what their financial situation…”
^^^^^
We are in agreement (as are most of the supposed experts).
My question(s) remain:
Which colleges ask the applicant to state their income during the application process?
If every Hispanic (regardless of income) checks the FA box, how will the college differentiate between the economic situations of the applicants before an acceptance decision is made?</p>
