[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a sense of entitlement, OP.  You think nobody else's kid is accomplished?  There are thousands of kids with similar stats and it is a reach for all of them.  Your child is obviously very accomplished and will succeed whether he hits the Ivy lottery or not.[/quote]

Correction - legacy admissions that are not based on such excellent stats are the ones with the unearned  sense of entitlement. It is the elitist manipulation of the educational system, that gives us grossly under qualified people like Trump in the WH.  Or maybe merit no longer matters.

For the non-legacy,  non-hook, people with the excellent stats? it's just a lament on an anon board. [/quote]

I'm the one you quoted.  I agree that legacy admissions are the height of entitlement.  However, OP seems to think great grades and test scores entitles one to Ivy when it does not.  There are not enough Ivy seats to go around for all of the kids like that.  It's the baseline (unless you have some other hook) and they are looking for more.  It's the same story for all of our kids.  That's life.[/quote]
