[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an ever changing diverse and fluid world, why are some fighting for rigidly and narrowly defined merit achievements? What is a true achievement anyway? How can we differentiate talent from cogs in the machine?[/quote] You can differentiate talent from cogs in the machine by holistically looking at a lot of information. GPA, courses taken, test scores, major achievements, essays, and recommendations all considered holistically and with consideration for the kid's personal circumstances would lead to the best outcomes. Ignoring or minimizing courseloads, recommendations, test scores, and achievements because not all kids may have had equal access is absurd and will lead to a lot of mediocre kids being admitted into elite programs.
