[quote=Anonymous]I would be considered a first generation college applicant if I were applying nowadays, and also may have benefited from test-optional admissions. I went to an extremely poor inner city high school and graduated at the top of my class (it wasn’t technically a magnet school, but the school offered multiple levels of classes in every grade & subject). My SAT was in the low 1300s out of 1600. I went to a local regional state school because that’s what I could afford & I didn’t think I would have a shot at some highly-selective college (or afford one). My career turned out pretty good, starting with passing all four parts of the CPA exam within a year of finishing undergrad. But, I sometimes wonder if I could’ve gotten onto a completely different career trajectory if I’d had the opportunity to go to a top school. Circumstances like mine weren’t relevant in college admissions back then. [/quote]
