First Generation to College

I couldn’t open some of the ivy links right now due to not having updated adobe lately. MIT opened and they do take ACT in your range. They consider 1st gen as much as work experience and volunteer experience.

You are a new poster. You need to stalk this forum going back a few years and read the sob stories of all the high performing students who get in top schools but can’t afford them If you need financial aid you need to identify the schools that give it. I do know Harvard will “meet need” but some ivies don’t. Again that is shown on the CDS.

There are a bunch of schools that will give you free tuition for your ACT score but they aren’t ivy. It’s a trade off if you need money.

I found out about the CDS from this forum. Love it.
