[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my child's senior class of 81 students only 24 were plain vanilla , meaning they were not an ivy legacy, minority, recruit able athlete, or had extra time on their tests. Most of the people in the class had some advantage over just their resume. I was wondering about the numbers in other private school senior classes.[/quote] Right, because white kids who get to attend private school aren't advantaged in any way. Trust me, the advantages that your child gets from being white, specifically the million second chances, translate to much bigger pluses in the admissions world than the "tip" my kid gets for being black, and the advantages a child gets from having a brain that learns in the way that schools teach, is far more significant than the "tip" you get from extra time. Your kid is starting 6 inches from the finish line, and concentrating only on the kid 5 inches from the line, rather than those 99 and a 1/2 feet behind him. [/quote]
