[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The colleges are selling product and much of that product is status and access to elite contacts, which us 1-5 percenters care about deeply because we want our kids to do as well or better than us. However the assertion that its based on qualification is clearly false - to everyones point they probably dont even look at most applications and then they craft their pool of legacy, athletes and woke ideals. The best and the brightest are not really factors imo. Maybe a few get in, most do not. Its like the royal family. It's not like they are smart or good looking- but everyone bows to them nonetheless. I dont think you realize how bad it is until you have a kid go through it. [/quote] This just sounds bitter. An admitted applicant might have a short handwritten note on the admittance letter stating what it was that attracted the adcom and it is not any of those thongs. [/quote]
