[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a top 10 school on athletic scholarship. Incredibly poor. My mentors were union guys where I worked in the summer. They worked two jobs to send their kids to the local public university. No concerns about fit, just hustling to afford the local school. A significant majority in this country are in this boat. One hopes that with a family searching for fit, they realized just how fortunate they are. Concerns about the Greek system, campus environment and social factors are a relative luxury. This is not to say that all families playing the admissions game are elitist - many are just looking out for their kids. But the elites set the rules and and many have no idea of the struggles of people who come from very little and break though. [/quote] Of course they know, many of us were those kids once.[/quote]
