“One longstanding critique of the SAT has been that students from wealthier households do better because they can afford expensive test preparation classes.”

Having just done this with a senior in hs, wealthier household pay for everything and poor get waivers and some are even paid to take prep classes.

“The Times reported that low-income students will now be given fee waivers allowing them to apply to four colleges at no charge.”

Using the commonapp, you can apply up to 400 colleges free and, I have received dozens of letters from colleges that if we use the common app fees are waived.
