[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what you mean by rigged.  An example from our private school on someone admitted to a non-HYP ivy.

Top 10% of class
One of 5 students offered 2 APs as a Freshman, based on entrance exam (Bio & Geo) 
11 Total APs 4s and 5s on all of them (Calc/Stats/Bio/Chem/Phys)
1450 SAT (recruited athlete, so stopped taking the test)
3.8UW (school is known as a harsh grading school)
Top 10 nationally in their event at Track and Field.
State Champion F&F.  County Record Holder T&F
School Rock Band
Chess Club
Beloved by Faculty, fellow students and the administration/College Guidance office.

Also, 3rd Generation Legacy

Is it rigged because this kid got in?  Eventhough their SAT is below your kid's.

A lot of legacy kids are like this.  Another kid from school at HYP...similar stats.  Double Legacy.  Lacrosse all-state.  Top Math student in HS.  1430 SAT; 4.0UW.

Where does your kid compete with these kids?[/quote]

A 1430 SAT student does not belong at HYP. Textbook example of a rigged system.[/quote]

They offer the school more than the OP's kid.  This board is like a bunch of adults with arrested development.  They don't know how the world works, and have an almost naive view of the world.[/quote]

In other words it’s rigged. College admissions is a birthright. Glad we can all agree with OP’s premise. [/quote]
