[quote=Anonymous]My uncle is an engineering professor at Cal Tech and he has an enormous and very  impressive lab. He’s allowed all of his children and nephews and nieces (and a couple grandchildren) to run experiments on his equipment. Obviously, his guidance also makes for award winning projects. Plus, even students who are admitted to Cal Tech don’t have access to a lab like that until they’re upperclassmen or graduate students.

And yes, he allows the kids to be named in certain scientific articles that he publishes. I’m certainly not going to turn away my kids when they’re in high school and they need projects for their college applications. I imagine other families are similar. It’s no different than children of athletes getting one on one coaching from mom or dad.

Cal Tech Professor was the first person in his family to go to college, but since then, every single person after him has gone to college. I’m humble enough to admit that the rest of us are not at his level of intellect, but still pretty smart. He did it without any help and there are plenty of other first generation college students succeeding. [/quote]
