<p>Yes, my son met a wonderful young lady at MIT’s WISE program last fall who was super low income from California and she got admitted SCEA to Princeton.</p>
<p>I will confess I would like to know that my son got into schools on his own merit rather than on his being 1/2 Puerto Rican, but I guess there’s no sure way to know that. I’d like to think his leadership, multiple national awards/honors, gpa, SAT/SAT II, graduate level research, great letters of recommendation, music supplement, and tons of college classes would have gotten him admitted anyways but…</p>
<p>I guess in the back of my mind, I don’t want other people at these schools thinking that my son was admitted “only” because he’s PR. His friends and others who know him know that he is a super strong student, but kids at colleges might not. Am I the only one that thinks about this stuff?</p>
