@billcsho I frankly don’t care what you believe. However, an $80 family income with dependents makes you eligible for Columbia “low income financial assistance” initiative, which covers 100%. It is Columbia (and Harvard) that calls $80K low income. As for being URM, I’m Spanish. By the universities definition, that makes me a URM even though I am European.
