[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely complain the admissions dept. It is an unnecessary, horrible thing to say.

Someone said on page 1, they wouldn't say being Black hurts your academic success and someone replied, you can't control that variable. KIDS CAN'T CONTROL if their parents are divorced FFS. And even if they could, that fact makes it okay to say something like this, to a room full of families?

It makes no damn sense. Would the person say "you have a much better chance of getting in if your parent is not incarcerated." What is the point of what was said? My spouse is an abusive nutjob but you know, I better stay with them so your admissions prospects are better. She's trying to keep people of near adults married? She's letting them know that a painful situation done with from the past is going to hurt their kid?

I am a single mom and my kids have done and will do great. They are so much better off, academically and otherwise, since their parents are divorced. That statistic make no sense, there are so many other factors and populations we are talking about here.

A hurtful statement about their family situation has no place at such a talk.[/quote
