[quote=Anonymous]My question to OP is - how do you know that only 2 kids got into Ivies "without a tip"? Are you assuming that anyone who is an athlete, of color, a legacy, etc. would not have gotten into the Ivies otherwise? I realize that sometimes these things can make a difference in filling out a college class - but if you truly believe that this is the ONLY "tipping factor" for their acceptance, then you might want to reflect a little on your own lens of the world. I'm not saying this to dump on you, or to be mean...but making these sorts of assumptions doesn't make you look very good. It's just really offensive to discredit someone else's achievement by putting them into some "box" that suggests they only ended up there because of a "special favor"....this includes school acceptances, job title, etc. I suspect you may not realize it (as someone has hinted at) or even mean it...[/quote]
