[quote=Anonymous]Merit, like many words, can be interpreted in many ways. No one has ever claimed that any school only admits the brightest, if that is your definition of merit. And, what does brightest mean, anyway? A high test score? Rigorous academics and great grades? What about the context of the student’s opportunities? Is a kid bright if they’re socially inept? One could go on and on. Schools look for a mix of student characteristics, but pure IQ is not the holy grail for merit or admission. [/quote]
