[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stanford and Princeton for accepting 2 well known MEGA-striver kids. Like the absolute textbook definition of striver. “Sour grapes” all you want, I don’t care.[/quote]

What does this mean?  They accepted kids that work hard and strive and that's bad?[/quote]

No. Dedicating their entire lives to getting into HYPS. Brains wired only for college admissions.[/quote]

I'm not seeing the problem here.  They dedicated their lives to getting into HYPS, they get into PS.  So what's the problem?

Would it be a more just and fair result if the kids who did nothing just coasted into HYPSM while the ones that gunned HYPSM didn't get in?[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like someone had a goal, did everything possible to achieve it, and won. Good for them.[/quote].

If you're not  "striving",  not sure those types of schools would even be a good environment.   Those schools are full of uber motivated students.  It's exhausting.[/quote]
