Should I (mom) delay my college graduation so my son can apply as "first generation"?

People’s responses have been a little holier than thou. It’s ok for the Kushners to donate big bucks so Jared goes to an ivy league school, but heaven forbid a parent delay graduating college by a few months. Will it make a big difference? I have no idea – though I suspect if the kid has strong stats and applies to top schools, it probably would help. But spare me – if something a) was legal b) wasn’t much of a hardship for you and c) helped your kid get into a great school – 99% of parents would do it in a heartbeat.

After reading some of the early responses, I wasn’t sure how to respond. Then I read this and decided I need only quote it. Perfect!
