[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Weighted GPAs are worthless

2. High unweighted GPAs are not going to get you anywhere in the top 25 without a very rigorous course load with 4 years of every academic subject including foreign language.

3. Any college with a 25% or less acceptance rate is a lottery for kids with nearly perfect stats

4. Naviance does not account for recruits, legacies, courseload, first gen status, full pay status, etc.

5. It’s a tool, not a crystal ball. [/quote]

DD  had straight As, even in APs and honors, won the Wellesley Book Award, was a STEM student, could pay full tuition anywhere, cash. Played sports as well. Great SAT scores. White female with no legacy, rejected from everything but her safeties. Applied to no Ivys by choice.

Don’t tell me her race didn’t play a role in this liberal academic environment [/quote]

The Five Steps of White Grief Over College Rejection:

1.  Blame non-white people

2.  Blame Athletes and Legacies

3.  Blame Rich People

4.  Blame the entire system as rigged

5.  Rationalize that the schools that you were dying to attend are actually elitist and not worth attending anymore because they're so 'liberal'

All of the above is spot on.

Also to the parent of the girl described above, did she consider the admit rate for women vs. men? More likely her child was rejected due to her gender than her race.

Maybe if she had applied to Ivies which have more men in the applicant pool should have been admitted.  Also there is no mention of the reputation at the school she received all As or the reputation of the student.  Anyway white rejected people sound a lot like what they accuse minorities of doing... wanting special treatment and other to "lend a helping hand. "  No One is posting about how they did any research beyond Naviance.  WHO APPLIES to colleges based solely on third party information????  No one is saying I looked at the school common data sheet and saw who applied , was admitted and was rejected.  I looked at the most recent acceptance information before finalizing the college list.  Nope they are all rely on some third party website to judge safety, match and reach.  There is no helping foolish white people that are not equipped for adversity. [/quote]
