[quote=Anonymous]Sure, I had the fluke of being poor from a family with no HS graduates. I ended up at a local non-selective SUNY with a 98th pct SAT and close to 4.0. GPA. Easy Ivy material 35 years ago. I'm from NY and Cornell would have been a gimme at that time. I got aid at Rochester and Syracuse but nothing beat living at home and free after TAP when your budget is basically nothing. Turned out OK, did fine then went to a solid grad school. Had a great career in the Silicon Valley. We work with what is in front of us, don't look back.[/quote]
