I legally immigrated with my parents in 1970s from Korea. Grew up poor living in a trailer court in the south. My father never applied for government assistance. After years of hard work, he opened up his own auto repair business but he passed away in accident when I was 15. One thing I learned growing up poor was how to work. I never thought I was disadvantaged. I joined the Army at 18 and got BSEE on a GI Bill after 4 1/2 years enlistment.
I have two boys 18 and 16 with similar scores and GPA with HKimPossible. I am not a fan of illegal immigration. I know too many stories of rich Koreans gaming the system. There are many students from Korea illegally attending US high schools that are sent by their rich parents. I would like to know how many of these students get free colleges from private university based on need based financial aid. My boys will probably will attend a public college with a merit scholarship. I do not want to spend $300g for a prestigious school.

I am not accusing HKimPossible and I wish the best for her.
