[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are full pay. DS accepted with amazing merit to several schools. He chose to go to a top-rated SLAC sans merit. BEST choice ever. He is having an amazing experience and absolutely loves it. Unlike many of his high school friends, he has access to virtually unlimited resources (courses, professors, career services, clubs, internship stipends, housing etc.). Once you see your child thriving, you will not second guess this decision.

On to the matter of class divide: DS is best friends with a QuestBridge Scholar. Although many of his friends are wealthy, not all are. There is absolutely no division, stigma or animosity from either side. I'm calling BS on that. [/quote]

the fact that the MOTHER of the friend of the Questbridge kid knows he's a Questbridge is gross.  This is very "I'm not a racist! my son's best man is Black!" vibes[/quote]

Nonsense. DP, but I know my DS's good friend is a Questbridge Scholar because he TOLD ME himself, like 5 minutes after he met me when I went to visit my DS, because he was very proud of this.  That scholarship is insanely competitive and it is not something kids hide -- they are proud of it and rightfully so.  Also, there are plenty of White QB scholars -- check your own implicit bias.

Nobody said the kid wasn’t white. Just poor.  [/quote]
