[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that so many Questbridge Scholars have dual citizenship. It is actually a pretty high number. I think it is much, much easier to hide assets when you have international ties.

I suppose it is illegal but it seems like priority should go to students whose families who have experienced multi-generational poverty in the United States whatever your race/ethnicity.

So no Asians whose parents graduated college in Asia.

No Nigerians or Jamaicans whose parents graduated college abroad.

Many recent immigrants also have business where it is easier to hide assets.

I would love to know how many Questbridge student who match (only around 1/4 to 1/5 of students who are in Questbridge actually match and get into a top school), are actually from families who have lived in multi-generational poverty.

jus sanguinis v jus soli.
Many acquire dual citizenship by virtue of one parent being a citizen of another country. Does not necessarily mean they are being stealthy with their money. If my kid qualified for QB, they'd be categorized as a dual citizen (American mom, Asian dad) despite the fact that the immigrant parent has been here for over 25 years.
