[quote=Anonymous]Not to mention you are not entitled to get into X, Y or Z school. You don't own that slot and "lose" it to someone else. You have no basis for whining about why others were accepted because (1) you will never know whats in their application, and (2) they can give that slot to whomever they want for whatever reason they want. (Public schools have slightly different rules, I should add). Its really funny how everyone always jumps all over race as a hook and doesn't touch the far greater hooks of sports and legacy. Legacy, in particular, perpetuates a certain exclusive vision of a school that is meritocratic in any way. Same with children of the very wealthy.[/quote]
