While reviewing college admission applications most selective colleges try to learn all of the following about students except?

While selective colleges try to learn about a student's academic record, extracurricular activities, and personal qualities, they generally do not try to learn about a student's family's wealth or socioeconomic status in a direct, invasive way. While they might infer some aspects of socioeconomic background from other information provided (like where the student attended high school), directly focusing on family wealth isn't part of a holistic review in the same way that academic performance or character is. Many strive for need-blind admissions policies to further limit the influence of wealth.
