[quote=Anonymous]Here is what you have learned OP. College admissions in 2019 is very high stakes and stressful.  And is already very, very competitive for UMC white and Asian kids from this area. You get dinked for the high COL that puts many of them in the donut hole and unable to access early decision. And dinked for coming from an area with overqualified kids. This seems like another way to make it even harder for kids from this area to get into good colleges.  This is yet another thing.

I think people generally support diversity— racial, gender, SES— on college campuses. But not at the expense of their own kid being unable to access a good college education.  Maybe that’s selfish, and we should all #BeBest. But, I don’t think that’s realistic.

I personally would feel a lot better about this adversity score if my kid didn’t already have to deal with donut hole and with being UMC white in the DMV.  It feels like just another way to penalize my kid in the admissions process. [/quote]
