[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's terrible people say rude things. Your daughter sounds amazing. Congrats on her acceptances![/quote]

I sincerely doubt that anyone says what OP is claiming, and I’ve been active in both private and public high schools. No one says that[/quote]
Sure they say that.  Maybe not as much to their face.  Kid in my high school got accepted to an Ivy, was ranked somewhere around 5 in the class.  No one else in the class attended an Ivy or anything close.[/quote]

When my daughter was applying to colleges we used to go over the Naviance graphs. The one ivy acceptance (Yale) in my kids school in the previous 3-4 years was from a kid of African immigrants.  Had excellent grades (very close to a 4.0 UW) but a 1090 on the SAT (before TO).  All of the other kids with a 4.0 and 1500+ SAT scores were rejected. [/quote]

Similar situation at my kid's HS.[/quote]
Stop lying! I don't believe any of you.  The Nigerian kids at my kid's school are pulling 1550 and above.  There is no way in Hell an African immigrant child is bringing home 1090.   You white bigots are something else.   I swear, liberal whites in this area are some of the most racist POS that I have ever encounter and I grew up in the red state of Texas.   You people are so insufferable and demented.  [/quote]
