[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got into Yale and Univ of Penn in the late 1980s with a 1380 SAT and zero AP classes. (My school didn’t offer any.) I may well have been the first kid from my high school to ever apply to either. I couldn’t afford to go and had no one to advise me on financial aid, so I declined both and went to a state university instead. Last year, my oldest was one of many highly qualified students to be rejected from both of the Ivies I got into, and we had a good laugh about the lost legacy preference. She is now at a state school as well, but one with a much better reputation than the one I attended![/quote] You also have to remember that there was no sense of first gen then save the kids who were or little interest in providing equitable financial aid for poor and working class kids. Guessing that even the financial aid advisors then might not have really been of much help. [/quote]
