[quote=Anonymous]Sure, some first gen students were top of their class at truly subpar high schools and are not prepared for a academically demanding environment. But there are also upper-class kids who were guided through everything, had parents and tutors and great teachers to help them and push them whenever they stumbled or slowed. In many cases, even if they come into freshman year well prepared, they won't do as well as smart, driven poor kids who are used to working their asses off and figuring out how to achieve with little support from parents and teachers. For an extreme example of this, read Tara Westover's book Educated. [/quote]
