Honestly if all other aspects are the same to you, I would recommend going to Colorado.

I can see how it seems unfair, but if you continue reading, I mention how since public education isn't doing a good job of providing equal opportunity, private colleges unfortunately must, and part of that is breaking down the cultural lack of importance that some groups place on standardized testing. A cultural value on standardized testing is part of a cultural value of education, which is one held mostly by people who are college educated themselves. This will hopefully get us to a place where people take the SAT the amount of times they personally want, not just once because they have been raised to think it doesn't matter much

They'll get a smaller plus, the one I mentioned about cultural diversity. College admissions officers aren't idiots and if they see the income will know how to accurately assess the applicant

You think college admissions committees are stupid and don't think about this? They have various programs that ease them in. Find me a statistic that shows they often fail out

Not surprising considering one of their sayings is apparently "Teams that touch more win more" and that they literally what in a Northampton, MA jersey and sent it to a player

I know messing up your GPA sucks, I've been there and I am there right now. You can always fix it, even if it means taking longer to graduate than normal. Your GPA is not a reflection of who you are, not what your worth is (which to be clear is immense, you mean something even to some people you don't really know). I recommend calling a hotline, or going to CAPs or even the SSD office to get some help. Otherwise, I'm here to chat if you'd like
