[quote=Anonymous]The adversity score is not necessary and the factors are already in play. My brother lives in Harlem. His kids attend a charter school, like most there. His son has all the “hooks.” URM, extracurricular leader, took every AP the school offered (3) and has a 95% GPA and 1200 SAT. He applied to 17 colleges and was rejected everywhere he applied except for a branch campus of Penn State and Buffalo. Many classmates with lower grades, test scores, attendance records and lower incomes were accepted at top 20 or top 50 schools. The system is flawed, and the score will further that. Where is the motivation to work hard when those who didn’t get ahead? [/quote]
