[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m seriously do not understand the people who continue to say that St. Andrews’ admissions rate is high. It’s not. They are picky. And if your kid doesn’t mean the right gender/race combination that they are looking for to “even out” the current class, then it doesn’t matter if they have all A’s and amazing test scores and great skills. (Ask me how I know.) I’ve watched too many kids get into every school they applied to but St. Andrew’s simply because they weren’t the right gender/color combination that they will looking for to fill out the current class. Kids should get into a school based on merit, not because they weren’t born the colors or genders that they were looking to fill out the class with. That’s discrimination. But it can’t be proven, because welp, admissions reasons are private. And that sucks. [/quote]

I wish you were joking but it is clear you are not. This is a nonsensical position to take. *Obviously* they (and all other schools!) seek balance in class structure. Absolutely no one wants to end up sending their kid to a  co-ed, diverse school where 84% of a class of 16 students is one gender and of the same race and ethnicity. Don’t be ridiculous! Every single co-ed, diverse private school carefully constructs a cohort that can make for an enriched learning environment. 🙄[/quote]
