[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a UVA alum but still saddened to see how this is unfolding. At ND the lifeblood of our school is the alumni, our network, our school, our faith, our community. Not to say that merit should not be the ultimate arbitrator but a university should give preference to families, no matter how small their impact, have proven loyalty to an institution over generations and are qualified for admission. If I were an alum of the school I would never send another penny.[/quote] It cannot be both. Either merit is the ultimate arbitrator OR preference should be given to alums. It is impossible to find two identical applicants as far as geographical location, gpa, rigor, testing, ECs, awards, letters of recommendation, additional info, Common App essay, school Profile, etc. Which side do you fall on?[/quote]
