What's the bottom line?

Applying to College Hispanic Students
30

<p>" But if hypothetically they did, colleges routinely use information such as: zip code, HS (private, underserved, % subsidized lunches, etc.), profession and educational level of parents, summer programs attended (eg. there’s a big difference between the SES of students attending Harvard’s SSP and MIT’s MITES), ECs, essays, etc. to differentiate between the economic situations of applicants."</p>

<p>I have two questions.

  1. I live in a zipcode where I’m pretty sure the income is fairly low and the public hs that I go to has 60-65% of kids on free/reduced lunch.
    Would that somehow affect me when I check the FA box?</p>

<li>How would a college judge the economic situations of students based on EC’s?</li>
