[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are something like 37,000 high schools in the US, most deeply segregated by both income and ethnicity and many grossly underresourced. Fewer than 1,000 will send a student to Harvard. If you're looking for students who will thrive at an Ivy environment, why shouldn't you encourage all those valedictorians who did the best they could do in the communities they are from to consider themselves Ivy material, regardless of test scores. [/quote] Because they aren't going to be admitted, no matter what they write on the application. They are just wasting time and money applying. Many of these kids can't afford to apply to 10 or 15 schools and encouraging them to apply where they have zero chance of admittance is both wasteful and unkind. [/quote]
