[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The unimpressive kids who went Ivy from our children’s private high school were all URM and/or athletes. 100%. And it was obvious to everyone they were not in or anywhere near the top bucket academically. Eye opening to all. And these were not poor URMs, I’m talking a blue-eyed “Hispanic” with a multi-millionaire dad and a Black teen with two MD parents. The smartest most overachieving URM I’ve seen there in 10 years was an authentic Hispanic gal with truly middle class parents, who went to UVA. I think she pursued marine biology.[/quote] Same at our top NOVA public. The URMs are hardly underprivileged and the athletes aren’t thaaat great. But they beat out those with more rigorous loads, better grades and scores. and equivalent or better ECs (they’re just not sports). [/quote]
