[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No joke.... my DH's friend's DD is going to Duke (in a medical graduate program) on a full scholarship b/c her grandmother is from Paraguay.  She (student) has a German last name and has lived in the US or Canada her whole life.  [b]The only reason she got the scholarship is b/c she claimed "hispanic."[/b]

DH's nephews both attended a large, well-known state university for FREE [b]b/c their father is of mexican heritage[/b] (although he lived in the US his whole life).  Their mother (my SIL) is blonde and blue eyed northern european/midwestern decent.  The only reason they "speak Spanish" is b/c they took Spanish in college and did the semester in Spain.  F-R-E-E four years tuition.  Their father (the one of mexican descent) has a PhD in physical therapy and drives a Lexus.  They have never wanted for anything.

So, I guess you can claim it.  If the universities are too stupid to check it out or define it better, then you might as well take it.[/quote]

Just curious, how do you know the bolded above? You saw their grades/ scores/applications? And those of each and every other kid on campus? So that you, personally, can attest that these are the "only" reasons?[/quote]
