[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New York Times has picked up the story of his higher achieving classmate who went 20 for 20: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/01/us/college-acceptance-micheal-brown.html Their high school is shameless as hell. You know you're going to Stanford or Harvard, why shotgun 18 other apps and waste everyone's time? Then leak it to the media. Shameless.[/quote] NP. This story rubbed me the wrong way too. Interesting how the mother emphasized that he had "actually earned it". Uhhh, not really. Skin color isn't something you earn, whether it's white or black. I don't think that anyone anywhere is suggesting that the same kid would have got in to those places if he wasn't black. It's terrible that he wasted everyone's time like that. And now some other kid misses out on hearing good news (maybe any good news) because he wanted a clean sweep. And is proud of it. He clearly lacks good judgement. The school should be embarrassed.[/quote]
