[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is first generation, and his parents are immigrants - he is from the inner city of Newark. Glad his efforts were recognized. He was not given the same silver spoon most others had and fought the odds.  [/quote]

But fgli kids are the silver spoon kids in the college admissions racket. [/quote]

That’s the right thing to do. Otherwise, there won’t be much social mobility. I say this as a UMC white mom whose very high stat DD did not get into T20. My kid will be fine regardless of which college she goes. But, Fgli kids need connections/resources offered by top schools. [/quote]

I disagree. My parents were the first in our family on both sides to go to college. They went to a regular state school - not even a flagship. The notion that it is imperative for FGLI to get into T25 schools doesn’t strike me as reasonable. They can start at a lower ranked school and work their way up with their kids in a better spot more likely to attend higher ranked schools over time - just like most generations before them have done.
