[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you realize that acceptance rates are not a measure of educational quality or outcomes, it makes the process a lot easier. [/quote]

here here!

I was a low stat kid who went to a uni that accepted most people for undergrad but was competitive for grad school. Therefore, as an undergrad, I had ample opportunities to do research. I did research in 5 labs i think; published twice before graduating and got a fancy research award. The result: FREE GRAD SCHOOL at a top 10 public.

[b]I was too poor to be a high stat kid in high school[/b] and in college my grades were on the bottom cusp of what the grad schools accepted. I got into two full-pay and went to the "better" one. The differentiator, of course, research and publications.[/quote]

BS. I was a low-income high stats kid. Income has nothing to do with academic performance. Quit making excuses. [/quote]

WRONG

if you can’t finish your homework because you’re working  to help your family pay for rent and you’re too tired from caring for siblings to make up the work and if you’re Hispanic and your teachers expect you to fail then income has A LOT to do with academic performance. [/quote]
