how does that relate to OP's thread topic?[/quote]

OP seems to be trying to make this thread about affirmative action & disagrees with colleges having preferences for FGLI students. She is free to send her kids elsewhere if she disagrees with those preferences![/quote]

This. [/quote]

+1 and trying to add race to the conversation by equating FGLI to URM when research has shown that most URMs at elite schools are not FGLI. Look at what was revealed from the Harvard SC case. [/quote]

+1 Mom of a URM student at an Ivy here (Not FGLI). I don’t even comment anymore because of the obvious agendas of some of the posters. I usually post to share information and appreciate those who are genuinely helpful. 
My child is doing just fine. He took on a challenging workload this semester. Top  10% in his CS classes (100% on prelims). He has 2 summer internships/research CS/Engineering positions lined up (one through our network). And gasp, his gpa is under 3.7. Are you kidding me? Since when is a gpa of 3.5  at a school like Princeton something to be worried about? Those students are hardly flunking. [/quote]
