[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eye roll.  People are just pissed off because their kids didn't make it in.  It happens every year.  Your Asian kid or White kid aren't any more special than the Asian and White kids before them who didn't make it in.  Fighting on some public forum won't help your situation any.  Whether you like it or not, they were rejected.  Go figure something else out rather than wasting your time pounding sand into this forum about the injustice of reverse profiling.  No one in academic Admissions pays attention to it from public to private settings.  If you're White or Asian, this problem will persist to plague your child's entire academic life so figure out a way to deal with the rejection and move past it.      [/quote]

Yeah, how dare you people try to advocate for your kids.  It's better to just give up at the first hint of adversity.  Life will be much easier that way![/quote]

Good luck "advocating" because surely you're a special parent and the others that came before you were not special like you or your kids!  I mean it, good luck.  Come back next year (or the year after that) and let us know how advocating worked out for you.        [/quote]

And why exactly are you here every year?  Are you the designated AAP committee apologist?  Your job is to defend their honor and keep the rabble rousers in line?[/quote]

I'm just an overzealous 1/2 white-1/2 asian parent who has tracked AAP admissions every year on this board since my oldest entered kindergarten just so I can understand the patterns.  Two down, 1 to go.  Good luck to me too in 2021![/quote]

Nice try.  You either have some association with FCPS or other vested interest in defending AAP.[/quote]

I don't know if the person is who they claim to be.  It's impossible to tell in an anonymous forum.  The one thing that was stated by the person which is true is that for the White and Asians the problem will persist all the way through college admissions.  There is a really heavy double standard.  We are only in early elementary and facing it.  I too think the problem doesn't get any better for the two ethnic groups.[/quote]
