[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, of course, the school would get grief from parents wondering why their higher stats kid got passed over when a lower stats kid got admitted and/or when other kids with those stats always seem to get in. [/quote] From experience, wondering is just a short-lived intermediate stage. You soon realize that the kids that get in with lower stats fit a pattern that does not apply to unhooked white kids. However, in many private schools there a lot of preferential-access kids, compared to say a suburban public school.[/quote] From experience, comments like this are frequent when parents believe that GPA and standardized test scores are objective indicators of merit and everything else is unfair advantage. Since Naviance's way of representing admissions decisions reinforces this mindset.[/quote]
