<p>goose7856 is spot on. You project this attitude that you are very special for being a low-income minority, and you seem to feel that you deserve a 100% full ride to the school of your choice because of your situation. Guess what - you never won the Putnam, cured cancer, or designed a vehicle that uses water as fuel. These things would be worthy of a full scholarship to Harvard. Being born to hispanic parents who have low salaries, a matter that you had no choice in and that took no effort to create, is not.</p>
<p>Like goose7856 said, your parents’ income has no impact in your ability to take out student loans. No matter how special you think your situation is, there’s no difference between a kid with rich parents taking out 80k in loans and a kid with no parents at all taking out 80k in loans. They both have to work and pay it back. </p>
<p>Good luck in college! You have big dreams, and that’s great. That doesn’t mean you’re entitled to pursuing them for free. I know you’re not accustomed to paying for stuff since you seem to be getting a full ride to your prep school, but things in life cost money. Get used to it.</p>
