Ivies have brought in many FGLI students who are not polished. It's no fault of their own but they skew the class now.

This question reminds me of the classic Love Story film. Oliver Barrett Jr. Is probably a crazy rich Asian now.

"Exclusive spaces?" Who cares? I'm only interested in inclusive spaces.

U.Va. seems to match the criteria.

Times have changed. Engineering has expanded and nearly 30% of Princeton students now major in engineering. To say the least, the word “polished” no longer comes to mind.

I am very sick of these posts from a parent who clearly only cares about their kid's social climbing.

🤣 When my kid was 17 and we were visiting colleges, I remember marveling at the prospect of my kid being as confident and articulate as the tour guide in 4 years.

Sad, right.

Not a word about values or character.
