[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This website has much data to show why you need not worry...

Less selective universities are very capable of providing an excellent education.[/quote]

Give me a break. OP wants to know how it is possible to get in the very selective universities. This "don't stress" narrative is absurd to feed to someone, when their kid has virtually no chance to get into a school, but their next door neighbor does, even with less accomplishment. "Don't stress" is some BS gaslighting in the face of discrimination.

OP's son will do well because that's who he is, regardless of where he goes to school. She's not worried that he's going to be digging ditches. That is not the point. And she doesn't have to have the same criteria as you. If this worries her, it worries her. That's valid. [/quote]

Um, I think the point of the website is that "OP's son will do well because that's who he is, regardless of where he goes to school." I was trying to help OP get to that realization.

Oh, and jumping to assumptions about discrimination is unwarranted, especially when you have no idea what each of the students involved is bringing to the table. I'm genuinely sorry if you've faced discrimination in any way, but [b]it's very unlikely that it will happen in college admissions in the US[/b]. In general, the more selective the university, the more diverse its student body is. They WANT a variety of viewpoints in their classrooms.[/quote]

I don't think that is true. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Thanks for what you said about me facing discrimination. I believe you are sincere and I appreciate it.[/quote]

Definitely sincere. Even if we disagree about its prevalence in admissions, there is no doubt about its continued abundance in society in general. We are making progress, though, and if there's anything positive to be gained from our previous White House resident, it's that he made painfully obvious how far we still have to go.[/quote]
