What is a “red flag”? According to Columbia’s financial aid program, with a family income of $80K and children in college, I am eligible for their ‘low income’ financial assistance program and indeed receive a grant that covers everything (Columbia doesn’t make you take loans). I also had a 1950 SAT. As for being URM, again according to Columbia the fact that I am of Spanish descent makes me one. I however consider myself Spanish and not Hispanic and so wouldn’t ever call myself a minority. In Europe, we are considered white.
