[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not surprising that so many people get more and more vocal about the messed up college admission process.

Yale has recently issued a report with recommendations on what can and should be changed. It is a positive step but I am not sure how many of the proposed actions will be implemented. There are too many stakeholders that favor status quo.

From the linked article:

The committee wrote that the current process “disproportionately benefits wealthy applicants,” and it recommended that Yale reduce its practice of giving admission preferences to applicants such as varsity athletes, legacies, and children of faculty, staff, and donors, claiming that such advantages “distort the admissions process by reducing the number of slots available to high-achieving applicants who do not fit into one of the favored categories.”

I take issue with TTs patting themselves on the back for their exmissions more than the rigged nature of the game. At least the donors had to give away money and the athletes had to train to get recruited. Brearley and HM didn’t do that, yet they claim these incredible pipelines. Any student from there getting into HYPS would’ve done so anywhere else [/quote]
