<p>My daughter is a in her first year at an ivy and loves every second of it. She does not feel like an outcast at all, and I believe that no one has any idea of her financial status. I think once you start college you will see that you are accepted by your personality, not by your income. Since everyone comes from all over the country, no one knows anything about your background, so you can choose to tell what you want, or not. Good luck!</p>
