[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White TJ kids with 4.3 GPA and 2100 SAT will get accepted to colleges like Northwestern, UVA, W&M, Michigan, UCLA, Cornell, NYU, Amherst, Georgia Tech, UNC, Rice, University of Illinois, USC, Boston College etc. White Edison kids with same qualifications will have tougher time getting accepted to above schools.[/quote] Colleges know it is far more difficult to receive 4.3 GPA from TJ than from Edison. White TJ kids with 4.3 GPA and 2100 are virtually guaranteed acceptance to UVA and William and Mary. Kids with similar qualifications from Edison will have difficulty getting into UVA or William and Mary.[/quote] I might believe you if you claimed that there weren't lots of Edison students with this profile, but you offer no evidence to show such students are hard-pressed to gain admission to U.Va or W&M, or at a disadvantage compared to similar TJ students. It may not be your intent, but it really comes across as if you are desperate to disparage other schools relative to TJ. [/quote]
