[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA’s alumni magazine had a big front page spread & article on how many first generation college students they have now. So they’re def looking at that/working towards that. I often wonder what supports schools like UVA have in place to help those students. I work for a nonprofit that supports impoverished minority students and helps them get into college & funds it. All of them are first gen. We have a 95% acceptance rate but only 57% make it to graduation. It’s a challenging problem. [/quote] Almost any first gen student making it to a school the level of UVA will definitely graduate and potentially thrive. Being poor and first gen doesn’t mean your educational background is poor, and those types of students tend to be exceptional people in general. [/quote]
