[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Questbrige and URM are basically a quota set aside for underachieving applicants.[/quote]

Not the ones I know - high 1500s, weighted 4.89+, dozens of APs. Good luck thinking they bumped your child for unfair reasons.[/quote]

Right? My son’s friend (QuestBridge AND an URM) got into any Ivy from a NoVa public with a 1570 SAT and top grades with a rigorous schedule. And he has an after school job and is a really nice kid. He deserves every good thing he gets.  My kid has known him since 7th grade and says he has worked his tail off.  [/quote]

Meh, great anecdote.[/quote]

Do you want to hear my anecdotes about the white boys getting in ED to top colleges despite lackluster credentials because they are athletes, and how their parents bought and paid for years of private coaching, ferried them around on "travel" teams, paid for them to play in all the right tournaments to get exposure to coaches, and then hauled their asses over the finish line by spending thousands on SAT tutors and then writing their essays for them?
