[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say though that after going through the college process at our private HS, my respect for the ivies and the top schools (Duke) has dwindled. THe kids who got into these schools over the better students were the $$$$, connected, athletes and URM. And everyone pretends that there is nothing wrong. Of course you can get into Harvard even if you only graduate w a disctinction as your grandparents are worth over $1B. Of course you can get into Penn Wharton even graduating at the bottom of the class as you are an athlete. [/quote] Well, there are certainly some privileged kids who got into elite schools through the means you mentioned. But there are also many who got in without any connections or money. The question you have to ask is why them not your DC.[/quote] Everyone is competing against those connected kids not unconnected private school kids. What does being at private school have to do with it?[/quote]
