Why YSK: because what seems like equal situation from surface isn’t always equal opportunity for all. And even when equal measure of help is provided, it might not be equally useful.

    Do achievements under tougher conditions not have merit?

      I never thought of it this way, that’s a pretty good interpretation.

      The toughness of the conditions aren’t the point of merit-based entry. The point is matching where someone is now, to where the school can take them.

        That’s the point. They should incorporate the conditions are ms well.
