<p>“I just want to know that if I pay them some 45,000 a year that I will be able to get the same opportunities as the other students even though I am not low-income.”</p>
<p>Wants2Thrive, this is a ridiculous statement. Do you think that colleges have students on financial aid wear tee shirts or arm band so they get special consideration? </p>
<p>At Mount Holyoke, every student is challenged in every class every day. Every student is offered the same opportunities. It is up to the student to take advantage of the opportunities presented. No one is handed anything on a silver platter. Hard work and being pro-active gets you places.</p>
