About wealthy parents buying their kids into colleges... I think this is something that is not as prevalent as many people think. If you REALLY want to go to a good college, study hard and apply for as much financial aid and scholarships as you can...
I have a brother in law who is going to study pre-med at a private college in CA. He comes from a family of 7 children (my husband is the oldest). His family does not have much money. He is getting over $20,000 in scholarships (not to mention financial aid monsy). And these scholarships were not just arbitrarily given to him... he had to seek them out, fill out applications, write essays, etc.
Here is the point... if you want something bad enough, work for it! Make the most out of what life gives you. You do not have to go to some rich private high school to get into a good college... you do not have to come from money to get into a good college... you DO have to work hard and refuse to give up.
