I have been mentoring a refugee family from Afghanistan for about 5 months. I have learned a lot about myself, administrative burden, the immigrant experience, and America. As an "education person", seeing American school communications thru their eyes is wild.

Harvard actually does better enrolling low-income students cond'l on test scores than the other Ivys

You can see that here too. Among students with similar test scores, students in the bottom 40% by parental income are more likely to enroll @ Harvard than students in the top 1%. Yet Harvard is full of rich kids because the relationship between parental income and test scores is so steep!

This is a way bigger deal than the excess admissions of very rich kids at 12 universities, conditional on test scores. I am glad the NYT is reporting on this. SES differences in academic preparation at the time of college application are simply enormous.
