[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]End of meritocracy in America is how I see it.[/quote] Right, because getting into and being able to attend St. Albans in the first place was entirely based on merit...[/quote] Surviving it and coming out on top definitely was.[/quote] But I'm not sure it shows more grit and intelligence than other kids in different but still very challenging situations. [/quote] Kid at Big 3. Another at a well-known and competitive MD public. I can say, without qualification, that the very top students in both settings are really quite exceptional in absolute terms and would be extremely competitive in relation to top students elsewhere in the country. To hear that the very top STA students have not been admitted to top colleges suggests that meritocracy is indeed no more the norm in admissions. [/quote]
