[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what you mean by rigged.  An example from our private school on someone admitted to a non-HYP ivy.

Top 10% of class
One of 5 students offered 2 APs as a Freshman, based on entrance exam (Bio & Geo) 
11 Total APs 4s and 5s on all of them (Calc/Stats/Bio/Chem/Phys)
1450 SAT (recruited athlete, so stopped taking the test)
3.8UW (school is known as a harsh grading school)
Top 10 nationally in their event at Track and Field.
State Champion F&F.  County Record Holder T&F
School Rock Band
Chess Club
Beloved by Faculty, fellow students and the administration/College Guidance office.

Also, 3rd Generation Legacy

Is it rigged because this kid got in?  Eventhough their SAT is below your kid's.

A lot of legacy kids are like this.  Another kid from school at HYP...similar stats.  Double Legacy.  Lacrosse all-state.  Top Math student in HS.  1430 SAT; 4.0UW.

Where does your kid compete with these kids?[/quote]

A 1430 SAT student does not belong at HYP. Textbook example of a rigged system.[/quote]

They offer the school more than the OP's kid.  This board is like a bunch of adults with arrested development.  They don't know how the world works, and have an almost naive view of the world.[/quote]

Np to this thread.

I couldn’t agree more. The people who comment on this forum now are delusional about the world and college admissions and what it should or should not be.

No one cares what idyllic system people want. There’s a system in place now & you have to play the game. Figure out your lane and work it.

This is not rocket science and all these people whining are truthfully just annoying and sore losers. They’re wasting their time when they could be doing something productive actually helped their kid.[/quote]
