<p>if i came off sounding like i knew more that H and P, i do apologize. however, i am completely serious in wondering how much being from affluent communities/schools helps in the EARLY ACTION process.
i was under the impression that we were discussing EARLY ACTION (non binding, Nov 1 deadline)</p>
<p>wealthy applicants can certainly produce a “better” application. counseling, essay editing services, test prep etc of course help an application, but it does not make a difference whether one applies early or not.</p>
<p>affluent or prep high schools offer great services and counseling, but that doesnt make a difference when disucssing (specifially) EARLY APPLICATION. </p>
<p>a disadvantaged kid who has a common app account can tick the box for early action before november 1st. does a rich kid have a beter shot at ticking the box?</p>
