[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of another case where the student whose grades (and probably standardized test scores as well) were not great but got into Emory. Emory will shoot itself in the foot with these sort of shenanigans. No high-performing students will apply in the future.

I suspect that colleges (it probably extends beyond Emory) are accepting first gen because the US. news ranking started including share of first gen students in their criteria for ranking. I think since 2020 or 2021. So all colleges are now increasing their admissions of first gen students.  [/quote]

Good. The process of high school and then applying to college as a first-generation student is really hard.[/quote]

Being socially conscious is a good objective but having a college ranking based on a "social justice factor" is not useful because it is not an indicator of the quality of the education. [/quote]

I both loathe test-optional admissions and wish the SAT could be made more rigorous so that if any kid from absolute “terrible” (poor) gets a really high score on it, they’ll get into a top school where they belong.[/quote]
