[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on our suburban public school three years in a row

At most 1% of kids get into a top private. Here are some stats

Rank #3 - White female. Deferred from Stanford. Got into Brown and Duke. Went to state flagship

Rank #2 - Asian female, Applied ED to Penn, went to Penn

Rank #1 - Asian Male. Only got into Cornell and Dartmouth. Went to Dartmouth

Anecdotally, only URM's or diversity cases in our school make it to HYPSM

End of Story. [/quote]

I guess you can keep hating on minorities,  but the reality is that these schools are still majority white,  with a national demographic that is now nearly not for that cohort.  I have no idea what's going on with your school,  but it's not the case that white kids are locked out.  Not remotely true.  [/quote]

Here is how it actually works

Everything is about buckets

URM are still a rare find that everyone fights over.  If you have a high quality URM from your high school they will get in over non-URM.  These places don't like taking too many kids from a particular school (bucket).  That is what is happening.  There are still plenty of schools that don't have high performing URM.  Those are the schools where more white and asian kids are getting in.  [/quote]

That's ridiculous scapegoating. You're actually trying to argue that the white kids at Ivies are all coming from high schools that "don't have high performing URM"?  You're crazy.  [/quote]
