[quote=Anonymous]My kid's friend is a refugee from Afganistan. He's only been in the US for 5-6 years, but has top grades and test scores. His only EC is part time work-- as he does'nt have reliable transportatin and has responsibility with many younger siblings at home. He's applying to UVA and W&M, but he is seriously thinking about CC to state school route. My child is trying to convince him that he should apply to top needs-meet schools like Harvard and Yale. It is a lottery but he is a better candidate for these schools than possibly anyone else in their cohort. I work with some refugee families but with little resource at home and gap in education in earlier years, their kids tend to struggle in school-- this student is truly exceptional. [/quote]
