[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin's kid needed significant aid but wasn't "low income." Dad didn't go to college, mom went to an absolute no name school that I don't think even exists anymore. So the kid was hosed - not "low income" enough and not "first generation" even though for all intents and purposes they were. Struck out at all good privates despite very good grades, scores and XCs. Ended up in honors program at a good but not great in-state public. TL/DR the obsession with social engineering and the guidelines for it have gone completely overboard and aren't doing what they are meant to do.[/quote] Yeah, not sure you are making your point here: this kid had "very good grades, scores, and XCs". Most kids with that profile strike out at top universities. There are likely others with similar backgrounds to him who had GREAT scores, grades, etc, who were accepted. [/quote]
