^Granted, my parents were formally educated, and they both have degrees; I didn't grow up living well. 'Lower middle class' would have best describe our household until I moved out three years ago. I didn't take the SAT prep and my parents were unable to dump cash into those programs. I still was a bookworm, for the most part. I managed to get a 1410 (the old SAT).
