Depends on the difference in scores/grades, AP/IB classes and results versus what was offered in the schools, letters of recommendation and essays. On the last point if I were an Admissions counselor I would be looking for the person who would most benefit from the education that the school provides. If I read about some Habitat for Humanity spring break trip I would be less impressed than reading about the person who still managed to do well in AP classes despite working a part time job and babysitting a younger sibling while the single parent worked multiple jobs. The latter candidate shows a lot more potential and dedication to academics and if they are at a level that they can be "coached up" to the scores/grades that the former had (that is why the scores/grades need to be close) you are looking at more upside |
