[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the last 3 pages or so are from the same tired poster who pulled her kid out of Langley and into private school and life seemed rosey.  Until she learned that underprivileged kids and URMs have an edge over her kid in college admissions?  Now she advocates those kids not be given an advantage and her kid penalized?  And also brags that there's zero SAT prep in her house cause that's now how they roll?  [/quote]

[b]By moving out of publics, you avoid quotas. [/b]Quotas are tied to state funding and other forms of politics.  Since my kid is going to go to the college she wants, the college she likes best, for us, the admissions issue doesn't really matter. It does, however, on a political whole.

Again, you are assuming this is strictly personal. It's really a political issue to me. [/quote]
If you think every qualified kid from Potomac, Flint Hill, O'Connell, [insert any non-public HS name here], gets into UVA, W&M, VaTech, JMU, etc, then you are very wrong. There are always limits when more qualified kids apply than there are college seats to fill. [/quote]

Of course they don't! But they don't have the politics of quotas working against them either. [/quote]
