[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse has a Ph.D. from Harvard, I have a J.D. and joint M.B.A. from a T10.  We have a DC in 2nd grade at a private.  If DC doesn't get into a, say, T50, it will be because we the parents screwed up or because the DC screwed up.  It won't be because of black applicants or because of affirmative action or because it was always "impossible." [/quote]

It wasn't always impossible. It is now. I am glad you don't realize this - you should not be thinking about college admissions with a 2nd grader. By the time they are a teen, you'll find out what college admissions is actually like at the most elite schools, and at some point you'll make peace with it. Apparently, that day is not today.[/quote]

It's apparently not impossible for the tens of thousands who get into T50's every year.  It's only impossible for the mediocre DC's.[/quote]

The problem is the tens of thousands with the same scores, grades and activities that were rejected because there weren’t enough spots.   [/quote]
