Education & Reference - 24 October 2006

I am 1/4 Cherokee but mygrandmom hid out in the north georgia/tenn hills and avoided the Trail of Tears...so there was no official record of my grandmom (squaw) except her marriage certificate/bible.
.....I have friends that get $$ thrown at them because they had a "Hispanic" grandparent.. with a "B"ave they can get GRANT $$ as a "Hispanic scholar". Do they have to have official records or live on a reservation???
..I could sure use tuition help as a minority rather than a white kid who graduated with a 4.0 ave and some credits from dual credit courses and "5"s on AP tests..My two brothers also scape by in college.. it doesnt seem fair!

I have graduated from the top university in Romaina with a cummulative GPA of 3.46, and 3.76 in the last two years. I have 10 papers pubished in related EE fields and have applied for a patent in EE. I have ~4 years of part-time research exp at a Silicon Valley company (work in Romania) and at a top Physics institute in Romaina. I have also held tutorials across europe, but in different fields than my desired PhD. If MIT is too 'hot' please provide the names of some good schools where I might have a better chance. My GRE is 760Q 560V and only 4AW. Would it be better to retake the GRE? Thanks

I have two children, 9 and 11, whom I am planning to put through college. I am debating whether to put money into a 529 investment fund or putting it into a Roth IRA and pulling out the money needed to pay for their college when the time comes.

What I would rather do is pay for most of their college expenses by having them get student loans. I would be able to keep my money in a compounding interest account and make money against the interest rate of the student loan. I could then pay their loans off over five years after they graduate. This would not only net me more interest earned, but would also establish their credit for when they need to acquire more serious loans such as a new car loan or mortgage.

One of the reasons that I am leary of putting money into 529 (which I know would work better than a Roth IRA) is that they will tally that in when putting together a student loan package. As far as I know, retirement accounts cannot be touched.
