[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College admission is not a meritocracy. It doesn't pretend to be. It is a "holistic review" which means colleges admit whatever and whomever they feel like. Stop complaining about ED, athletes, legacy, FGLI, etc. INSTEAD, Recognize its a rigged system and Figure out a way to leverage the completely unfair system to your kid's advantage. [/quote] I think this is all fine so long as we can all drop the pretense that this isn’t a rigged system. I do not see why people should not be honest and transparent about how rigged the system is. OP wants people to lie to protect her and her child’s egos. It isn’t enough that she and her child benefit from a rigged system. She also wants people who do not benefit from the rigged system to pretend it isn’t rigged. You also seem to want that (demanding people don’t complain, which seems to be the same as demanding silence about how rigged the system is). That is a ridiculous demand. [/quote]
