[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will admit we are not happy with the results of the early rounds. And I hope anyone reading understand it is not coming from a place of bitterness but from a place of helplessness. It is hard to digest how the most venerable institutions of this country peddle and getaway with blatant lies year after year and demolish the spirits of a vast majority of kids.

I am trying to understand how any of their claims add up?

"Application are reviewed holistically &  We also like receiving 50,000 applications

They never explain how they manage to read 50k+ apps and how spending 2-5 min per app allows holistic evaluation is beyond me. This is total crap!

There's got to be a better way. I don't know why no journalists have covered this. We are fighting about diversity/discrimination but the issues with college admission is more basic. The college admission first need to stop lying to the kids, period!

Holistic is code for 'we'll do whatever we please and let in whoever we please without the need to justify it to anyone and, oh by the way, here's our tax  bill, please take care of it although your kid will never get a chance to walk through these doors'.  [/quote]

This "code" as you described has been happening for centuries. Surprised that it's happening in higher education?[/quote]
