    Segment 1: Background Information on Us (pronouns, ethnicity, and maybe academic stats?)
    • Maybe whether or not we chose to submit our SAT score, did we have a tutor or consultant, APs, jobs?

    • SAT (did we submit our scores?)
    • School we’ve committed to?

    Segment 2: Inequalities in the College Process
    • Definition and important points:
    • How many schools did you apply to?
    • Why did you apply to those schools?
    • How much did application fees cost? (did you get a fee waiver anywhere)
    • How did you feel during the college process?
    • Essentially, the NEA, which is the National Education Association Labor Union, explains that the SAT exam is a standardized test. This means that everyone takes the same test regardless of where in the U.S. they live. The US doesn’t standardize high school education, which means that students from rural areas of the country will test lower than students from private schools in the northeast because of the type of education, curriculums, and experience they lack. 
    • The Washington Post released bar charts of information that show students who have parents with a higher education tend to score higher. Another chart shows that students whose parents have a high family income, are more likely to score higher and closer to a perfect score. Low income families receive low scores.
