[quote]Maybe she applied to all the Ivys so she could try to leverage among the ones she got into for the best aid package she can get. I can't believe anyone is complaining about this. Great achievement and the result of a lot of hard work. She and her family should be proud![/quote]

+100000!

If you were a financial advisor to Romney and Trump ( and the legacy family in the NW) do you think they will be paying any Federal taxes?  One can inherit millions of dollars from one's family in America, use the inheritance to steal more millions, and get away without paying any taxes.  This is lauded in America.  Using the rules and the law to get ahead.  2/3 of corporations in this country don't pay any taxes yet when an immigrant applies to 7 to 8 schools, using the rules and law to get ahead,  and shops for the best buy (which is what education is about in the US today); this is somehow foolhardy.

This woman is simply brilliant.  She is doing what any smart, brilliant, and savvy person would do in this economy.  In fact, she is even more brilliant than the Romneys and Trumps with all their inheritance and generational wealth who can only continually brag to the rest of us about their financial wizardry.

As a college advisor, she is playing her cards brilliantly and not leaving her future to caprice and chance.

I wish I could advise all new immigrants to follow this strategy.  One doesn't need a degree in quantum mechanics or a Bain or McKinsey consultancy to develop a strategy when college education is running $70 K per year and some not for profit schools are sitting on billions of endowment and income.  I am certain she is no trust fund baby like Bush, Trump, and Romney.

What do you think Trump and Romney, paragons of American charm, creativity, and success, would do in similar circumstances?
