Duh!!  If 3/4 of your school has very high SAT scores/GPA, etc.  they still only will take a certain percentage from that school.

Better to be in a school where only 1/4-1/3 have those credentials--but same County.  Your chances if getting acceptance are greater.

You also will have an easier time getting a higher overall class ranking.

Not rocket science here...[/quote]

The source is you? And you start your sentence with duh?

Can you tell me why the individual child should be punished for this, for the overall success of the group?[/quote]
How is [b]your[/b] child punished?[/quote]

Can you tell me where I referred to MY child? I did not.

I asked about the individual child, as in why should the INDIVIDUAL child be punished because of the group?

Oops, my apologies. Must have touched a nerve there. I'm sorry.
How is THE child punished?[/quote]

You touched the 'you people make shit up' nerve. LOL. Do some of you guys have issues with taking yourselves out of a situation? It isn't always about [i]you[/i]

The same way the individual is punished through any government program that tries to make things more fair. Affirmative Action, Obamacare, Quotas  The individual child at a high ranking school are punished by quotas, i.e. only X number will come from X school. That forces the individual kids to compete with each other, which then raises the stress levels of each INDIVIDUAL child, creating a nasty climate.

Pretty simple, really.[/quote]
