[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the comments of racists among us who posted in the following thread (there are many good people who defended the URMs and criticized the racist comments).  The racists are strangely silent about the student who accepted 17 admission offers with 14 schools offering merit scholarships.  I hope they show the same restraint in future with respect to URMs getting acceptance offers from multiple schools.

I don't really get the connection here to race at all. No one is questioning the kid being admitted to 17 schools, only that the student apparently accepted the offers of admission which presumably requires a deposit to each. I know they aren't huge $ (my DC's enrollment deposit was $300) but when you multiply that  by 17 it's over $5000. I would have expected my kid to narrow down the list before forking over $300 per school. We don't know the race of the kid in question and don't really care.

Maybe the PP who posted about this neighbor kid can provide some insight on why the kid accepted 17 offers.[/quote]
