[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t blame them if they are trying to highlight that schools push certain kids to certain colleges. I have not seen this kid’s transcript but[b] the fact this child got into UPenn a year
Later should indicate something went wrong at Sidwell.[/b] I am not crazy liberal either. I also think people make an issue with URM because more and more it seems as though Asians or white kids have to score higher than certain URM to get into college. I also think even the most liberal of caucasians are tired of reading things like toxic whiteness. I think this fact hurts URM who are scoring higher because they are rightfully annoyed that the perception they didn’t deserve to get in a school. This is the collateral damage of affirmative action and certain fringe anti white groups. Back to original issue-if a parent wants to advocate with laws as they stand then good for them.[/quote]

I read it as she got into Penn right out of Sidwell with the condition of a gap year, meaning she got in to Penn. [/quote]

Appears to be a footnote in the petition that says she reapplied the next year and then got into Penn. if you believe that Sidwell did in fact delay the recalculation/correction of her math grades until after her transcript was submitted the first time, this fact is kind of interesting. [/quote]
