by first gen, I assume you mean 1st one in family for college.

I am not familiar with SAT scores, just ACT since we are MW, but it looks like an SAT of 1760 is off the charts and stellar perfect. this must hv been the big factor.

do you know if family owns their own home. I assume they do w/ HH income of 125k. Interesting that she even applied to QB when they say , if memory serves that the max income is 60k. I think that is called cojones in spanish. but power to her to get into a program for the financially needy when you are not financially needy.

my kid did not get in with a familiy income of 20k, 28 ACT -1st time took it as soph; I saw others in this thread who said they did not take it), nmbr 1 in hard HS, 4.7W, tons of ECs, but both parents are college ed, and she is caucasian.
