What's the bottom line?

I’d like to think so also. However, I don’t think the admissions counselors / committees consider themselves detectives for the purposes of assigning SAT “bumps” for URMs. I think in most cases the college would give her and your son the same “leg up”. If she happens to apply to one of the (few?) colleges that actually spend any time trying to differentiate between the economic advantaged URM form those that are not, she may well not receive the addition help she deserves.</p>
