No! She's impressive! The activities and accolades (and maybe teacher LOR) are why she got in.

My Asian DD applied test optional (With similar test scores tbh) and got into MANY T20 schools (and is going to one of them)!

Agree! And I also have an ORM test op kid at an Ivy too....
Not sure why the hate here?
I think people don't understand what holistic admissions is.

There are a lot of us on here!!
The idiots here focused on test scores and nothing else don’t get it.

The sad and simple truth is that their children are not compelling. They are not interesting. They are not interested. And it comes across in everything they convey in the common app. They will never have the results our children have had. It has nothing to do with test scores.

I know many interesting white or Asian kids with higher stats who had nowhere near that kind of success. People who overcame disabilities, took care of sick family, did advanced college level academic work on their own for fun, etc. I know one kid who did all 3, in fact, plus the higher stats. I don’t think you understand the extent to which race sways decisions, so you are struggling to understand the extent to which people want this in the past.

No.

You just don't want URMs, and blacks specifically, to get the same opportunities.
College admissions are subjective. Half the kids admitted are institutional priorities. Most are white. But no complaints on DCUM.

A post saying many very interesting white and Asian kids are rejected with higher stats from Ivies tells you the author doesn’t want Blacks to get “the same” opportunities? Really? Wow. “Same opportunities” means deciding on merit, not skin color. Otherwise, why stop at colleges? Why not use affirmative action for all hiring and elections? SCOTUS already ruled on this. The issue now is whether they need to weigh in again on things like essays being used to achieve the same effects as before. I actually hope they don’t, but people like you make it more likely they will.

The young lady got in on merit. Dummy.

5 Ivies accepted her.

There are countless whites who got accepted with similar academic profiles. One Asian in this thread admitted as such.

Get over it.

No, ROI and QALYs not there for a bubbling multiple choice test pitched to middle school subjects. QID. One and done.

She couldn’t even get a score that’s put her in the top quartile at Baylor, FSU, Pepperdine, U Arizona, and other mediocre institutions. She’s a bad student.

Government should cut funding for these schools.

But, I understand your community make a billion dollar industry with this test while the rest of the globe laughs.

Tell me you’re an URM without telling me you’re an URM. Some of us have to learn the 8th grade curriculum to score a 1400

The rest of the globe bribes admissions offices and begs for visas to attend our universities.

Oh yea. I’m a white female with a 1370, okay ECs, an inflated GPA at a non national brand HS, and I got into HYPS full ride. So did all my friends.

So she didn’t get treated cause she didn’t have the means?

Or she didn’t get treated cause she already knew expectations were much lower, and expects that benefit for the rest of her life?

“Much lower” is understatement. There weren’t any expectations other than fill out your name and don’t go to prison.

Most kids can’t get into more than one Ivy even with perfect scores and GPA. This whole thing is weird.

And I’m sorry, but no kid is just “that” amazing, special, driven, and accomplished without major parent involvement. And I don’t mean parenting, I mean parents starting businesses, non profits, getting kids research jobs with their friends etc.

This is obvious. No one who isn’t URM or cured cancer gets into five Ivies. Donors donate to one or two schools, athletes commit to one school. A 1370 is an atrocious score and she should be embarrassed to be interviewed for that article. She belongs at a non flagship state school.

Yay?”

Sorry to hear of this epidemic in your community. Biopharma doing well.

Not all interventions require pharmaceutical treatment, but way to slander those with a medical condition and show this is truly about inclusivity!

White lax bros and average donor / faculty kids with 1370 (or less) have been admitted.

Athletic teams at Ivies don’t dip to 1370, their team averages for recruits are significantly higher than URM stats.

Being an average donor (1000-10000 per year) confers little benefit. If yo7 give seven figures to Harvard you may get in with a 1370 but probably not and would receive a courtesy call a year in advance from the advancement office. This is all in the documents in discovery during the Harvard admissions lawsuit.

If she can’t get a 1400 on a middle school material test then maybe she should get tested for ADHD. Really bad result!
