[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an international student and got a full ride not from an Ivy but from elsewhere. Part was merit, based on my straight A's. Part was based on my family income which was laughable compared to US income levels even for low income families. International students don't qualify for any type of federal aid, so everything was covered by the school. Things were still tough due to large income disparities between the US and where I was from, so my parents couldn't help even if they wanted to. I was able to get a 20-hour a week minimum wage on campus job (the only jobs available to foreign students), so that helped some, but it wasn't an easy ride by any means, alone in a foreign country with no family or any financial support. [/quote] OP thinks we got her child spot. They don't care about what our situation was or how hard we worked. We are a strawman for why her child is not getting into an Ivy League school. [/quote]
