America is a land of immigrants and opportunity, so how are you any different? If you have to do tricks, or start a company for the sole reason of deceiving the admissions process then I’d guess the program isn’t intended for you. If everyone did it, then the program would be broken. Who do you think would get the blame for that? If you use the program under deception, is that taking the opportunity away from someone who actually needs it?
More people than not have been poor.. more people than not have had struggles, and almost everyone here in America was once an immigrant. So I don’t see how you will be able to excuse yourself on any of those points should you ever feel guilty in the future. That said, I’m not the most virtuous person ever just tossing out a perspective. Not trying to judge you as a person, just challenging some of the reasons you mentioned.
I thought military would pay for school. I guess that’s just active duty? That sucks if not.. I think the military should be on the hook for active or not education valid through lifetime. Especially when considering that we have enough money bleeding to pay social security to illegal immigrants…
