[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue with the URM thing is using race but not socio-economics.   The Latinx kid down the street from me whose parents have 3 teslas and who goes to 50K a year private is not disadvantaged. [/quote]

So how exactly do you KNOW they got into an elite school because they are Latinx?   They likely got in because they have the same advantages as the typical white/asian UMC kids---so good gpa, good sat, and good EC and essays and attended a private school and have the drive to succeed.

The kid in question does have a good GPA but took easier classes.  Perhaps got essay help.   And went ....wait for it.... test optional. [/quote]

And, how would you know that kid's classes are easier unless your kid went to the same 50k/year private? (Even then,  how would you really know)? Also,  if they are down the street from you, perhaps you are similar income,  yet you feel your kid should beat out their kid? So many questions. [/quote]
