[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that admissions people at many schools are trying to build a class which is diverse in many ways (beyond ethnicity). They want some athletes, some musicians, some artists, and so on. Acceptances are not merely based on academic achievement…. [/quote] The other thing is that the K-12 schools are quickly realizing that pretty much the only kids they are getting into elite universities are minorities and athletes. So these kids will have an increasing edge in high school admissions [/quote] PP here: YMMV, but I do not believe that theory about elite university admissions. I also do not believe those kids will have an “increasing edge in HS admissions”. [/quote]
