[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was one of the poors at my prestigious university. I lived at home and spent 3.5 hours per day in transit, and had 2 part time jobs. I had a decent GPA but could have done better if l didn’t have to commute and work. Don’t just assume those lower GPAs signal not having a high level of talent, preparation or work ethic. [/quote] How come the school or Pell grants did not cover your room and board? [/quote] The idea that you think Pell grants are big enough to cover a significant fraction of the cost of room and board at a prestigious university suggests that you aren’t in the United States, and that you didn’t even read the cheat sheet for trolls. You need to retake the troll class. [/quote] NP Um what? I am US born, raised, and educated and was shocked by the numbers a PP posted. Those $s need to be updated for tuition inflation because they are useless[/quote]
