主题：【原创】我了解的八九十年代留学德国 -- 假日归客

if someone grow up in USA, and being very poor, the chances of being admitted is quite low compare to kids of affluent middle and above social classes.

in recent years many top schools are doing window dressing by lowering academic standards in order to admit more of the poor family kids.

-- you may get tuition covered by need based financial aid, but first you need to be admitted.

楼主贫困县长大，非上海人能上同济，而且能保持专业前5，这个水平，如果生在米国，肯定是全奖的水平，不用自己掏钱上学，

this is a valid point. students like this will probably be admitted by top schools and then most certainly receive need based financial aid.
