[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they aren’t. You reach a level where they aren’t better students. Plenty of kids with unweighted 4.0s in the most rigorous classes and 1600s not being admitted. By objective measures, they are stronger academically than the 1500/3.9 kid who took the same classes. Or a 1400/3.7 hooked kid. So instead it’s about soft factors. Which in many cases fine. I have no issue with building diverse classes. But saying that that an athlete, legacy or URM in the 3.7/1400 pile is a better academic student than the 4.0/1600 kid is just wrong. They may bring other things to the class. Hey May end up very successful. But they are not academically superior by any objective measure. [/quote] +1 Also, money is a big consideration for many people. Lots of high-performing students go to “lesser” schools with big merit scholarships.[/quote]
