[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, get over the assumption that kids with hooks don’t have high test scores and great grades. They are all usually academic superstars and many are also legacies. Hooks that lead to admission: 1) URM 2) Athletic recruit 3) some sort of national level accomplishment[/quote] URMs and athletes can get into ivies with stats lower than UMBC. They are “superstars” only within their group - 99 percentile within their narrow, selected identity. [/quote] DD has scored 99 percentile on most standardized tests she has taken. There was never any asterisk indicating it was only 99th percentile of Black kids, but hey, continue with your narrative if that makes you feel better.[/quote]
