[quote=Anonymous]Maybe also ask your kid about the rationality of what you're saying. Most kids from DMV are affirmatively looking for schools with a high degree of racial, economic, and geographic diversity. Plus international students. That is viewed as a plus, not a minus. Indeed, there's a whole book about this - "Who Gets In and Why" - that breaks this down for you. The biggest affirmative action at small expensive schools is for serious athletes, especially in sports that rich white kids play. But there is still plenty of room for other kinds of kids. They just need to bring something different to the table. I hear that you are feeling a lot of grievance but I'm finding it a little hard to tell just what the grievance is beyond "my kid is better than all other kids, and school shouldn't be allowed to balance the classes of who they select, without regard to majors, backgrounds, interests and activities, or other forms of diversity of any sort."[/quote]
