[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The well-rounded kid is such a middle-class invention. Colleges want wealthy, highly-successful kids and alumni. [/quote] They want billionaire’s offspring and don’t care how successful the kid is. They also want students who thrived in terrible conditions. [b]The perseverance., drive, tenacity and self discipline it takes to have top grades and outside talents while all around the kid is chaos, drugs, poverty shows a student who deserves a place at a top college. [/b] [/quote] Why would such a person “deserve” a place at a top college? Wrong word choice.[/quote]
