Girl with 1370 SAT gets in to 5 Ivies

[Anonymous]

The only people who have a dog in this fight are the parents who went into the college process thinking their kids’ grades, scores and (common) activities were enough to get them the same Ivy results. The majority of the people in this country don’t aspire to those schools and/or can’t afford those schools. They don’t have that envy, they’re happy with their state flagships or regional SLAC’s and don’t live with the toxicity and meanness that the college admissions process can generate.

The majority of people in this country are white or Asian and realize an application to an Ivy with a 1370 is burning a hundred dollars. They know that’s a score that may get you to a state school and voted for Donald Trump so the TikTok girl is ever so slightly less able to attend schools she has not academic background to attend

If there wasn’t any affirmative action, black enrollment at Harvard would be sub 2% and Hispanic would be sub 6%. They don’t do well under the academic scoring criteria Harvard sets. They also don’t do well in terms of donors or athletics. So all they have left is affirmative action to get in.”

What is the data on White affirmative action based on sports and donation?

Even people with 1370 SATs can google “Students for Fair Admission v Harvard” and finds thousands of pages in court filings, discovery documents, and legal analysis. The TikTok girl who got into five ivies probably googled it and realized she could get in despite being a terrible student.

I disagree. I think we all lose when the gov starts cutting research funding, which is being threatened in part because of admissions practices. While I disagree with the gov cutting research, I also disagree with race-based admissions. I don’t think I’m particularly rare in having both views.

When my tax money funds these schools. I want transparent and fair admission for every student. It's not too much to ask at all.

Unless there something in the posted article or a corroborate source, this 1370 number is a figment of the OP's imagination. This notwithstanding, she's going to Yale and there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry.

It’s amusing people say the parents raised her well. She’s stunting and metaphorically twerking on social media about her admissions results while many of her peers, with far more impressive profiles, were rejected. Déclassé and tawdry behavior.

Yes there is. We will defund universities, investigate institutions, and cut the DoEd until they cry uncle and stop admitting bad students who don’t belong there.

I don't like Trump but he's right about this.
He needs to do something about this BS.
Cut the funding.

I resent agreeing with Trump about anything (whom I voted against three times), but colleges have gifted him a majority-held position to bully them with. They stopped reading the room long ago, and need to stop making race based admissions for the sake of the greater good. On this particular issue they managed to make Trump look reasonable, which is no simple feat!

It’s like Jerry Jones’ grandson being drafted by the Cowboys and he makes a TikTok giving advice on how to get to the NFL. Everyone knows why you’re there, even the shills.

+1 She would have protected herself from hurtful online speculation on her credentials AND it would have been considerate and respectful of her peers, if she had shared the news with only her immediate circle.

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.

The Asian lady did not say her kid got into an ivy, let alone 5 ivies and 2 waitlists to ivies. There are not countless whites this happens to…unless they are also with a hook (urm, rural).

Rural whites don’t get into that many ivies with 1370s, if even one. Almost every state has at least one excellent private and public than can get them a 1450 or above.

Those excellent schools are in the cities, though. The rural kids CAN and do get in much lower scores. Three kids from the same university applied to Harvard Law: 168, 174, and 176. The rural 168 got in. The city 174 and 176 were rejected. All the same race and SES.
