<p>ok, if discussion isnt what this site is about, then i’ll stop posting (aka politely disagreeing with your views)</p>
<p>if you are “in touch” and have experience, then forgive me - BUT…
have you thought of the possibility that i could be what you call a “disadvantaged” kid, sitting in library, who has researched EA plans and is proud of her abilities to get past her less than rich, educated, or ivy-attending parets’ background. i need help with financial aid (for sure) but I love/like/and thrive on the opportunity to show my enthusiasm for a school like Yale by applying early. not only that, i truly appreciate the chance for me to find out before, as this cuts down other costs for my family.</p>
<p>i understand my sitution is anecdotal, but i’m certain there are others like me out there.</p>
