[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]QB is profoundly unfair when it means they get slots in place of better qualified kids. That's a fact at my high school. Why should they get T20 slots? They can get a GREAT education at a top public right? Don't people post that here all the time. Top academic performers that are QB. Okay, perfectly fine. 1300 SATs, less than 4.0 GPA. Still strong but T20 strong?[/quote]

Give it up!

That 1300SATS from a kid who babysits siblings after school so Mom can work a 2nd or 3rd job or the kid themselves works 20+ hours/week in HS to help keep food on the table and the lights on is much more impressive than a coddled UMC+ kid.  That kid has major potential and colleges recognize this.

I for one am happy to have them take a spot over my kid--they deserve it more, my kid will be just fine with their extreme privilege.  [/quote]

Would you rather have your kid grow up in their current MC/UMC life and attend a T100 school vs grow up in poverty and attend a top T20?
