[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Screwed from getting into an Ivy in order to get a Federal job? Kids can go to GMU if they want to make $180K. I'm not sure of what we're being screwed out of.[/quote]

Ofc you know. It's kids who work just as hard as kids with hooks. Some of that is simply due to family circumstances (kids can't change the fact they're not first gen). And yet, other kids get preference -in terms of admittance and maybe aid- because of those things, and get them at top schools.

You think GMU or Radford or Nova are so great? Why don't you send your kid there?

I don't understand why people direct their bitterness toward the first gen ed kids and not the loaded legacy types. [/quote]

Some UMC parents in the DMV stressing about costs may have been 1st Gen kids in their time but they weren’t loaded legacies.

It’s “I got this help but my kids won’t get it” even though their kids are a massive success story.

I was a full amount Pell Grant kid. The fact they I can now cover full in-State tuition or contribute 50% at a private blows my mind.

You can be amazed at what you do have or bitter at what you don’t have. [/quote]
