<p>Wow! Your dad pursuit what he loves studying (anthropology) and brought a plague of misery to his family...That just kills my desire to study Graduate Philosophy...dam! I pray you'll get in UPenn.</p>
<p>abcfox: come over here and say that</p>
<p>place: If you're middle class-ish you tend to get slightly shafted with the aid. If you're relatively poor, the aid is very good. If you're rich... well, you're rich.</p>
<p>abcfox I bet your parents don't love you</p>
<p>All I can say is, make sure Penn is acutely aware of you financial situation. To do what you have done with so little, is amazing and if you make sure that the adcoms know what situation you have been in, they'll see that you are an intelligent, passionate individual. Good luck, I hope you get in.</p>
<p>internships in high school?</p>
<p>::sigh::</p>
<p>One more joy of childhood thrown under the bus of college madness....</p>
<p>I'll pray that u get in, u deserve it more than me :)</p>
<p>I don't want to sound cynical, but how did your dad get into Brown and Wisconsin, then? If he is not a legal resident, he can't go to university here. He would need to be legal or have a student visa.
Another question, if he doesn't know english, how did he get into brown and wisconsin in the first place? </p>
<p>Are you jk or lying place? I hope not! :(</p>
<p>You do not have to be a legal resident to go to graduate schools in the United States, otherwise people wouldn't apply from overseas. He had a student visa for a long time but now my mom has that and he left. He got a Masters at Brown and Wisconsin, and then a PhD at Wisconsin also.
And my post never said he doesn't know English. I said that he speaks perfect English.
I would never lie or kid around to people I don't even know, especially about something as serious as this.</p>
<p><em>Sigh.</em> So sad that in all that criticism you didn't even respond to the subject of the thread itself.</p>
<p>place sry if I offended you, but there are many trolls out there who make stuff up. And about not commenting on your thread, I don't usually comment on chance threads and this one is no different. As your situation seemed a bit out of the norm I thought maybe you were jk.</p>
