[quote=Anonymous]School admit students that that need not just based on stats. 1) gender balance (otherwise female predominance would be worse) 2) diversity (URM are evaluated with different standards - does not matter if they are upper income, as long as the skin is a different color) 3) geographic diversity (applying with good stats from Alaska will get you into a top school) 4) specific skills (athletes, scientist (more grad school), politician's kids, musician......) 5) legacy (continue donations!) Since the whole process is considered holistic, why focus on "my kid has the stats but did not get in vs another kid with lower stats did" Life is not fair and is good for our kids to learn it now.[/quote]
