[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College is not a reward for good little boys and girls? College is a community. College is also educating a society. Colleges choose students based on who can make their community more full (big names/athletes/artists). They also choose people they think can contribute to society in some way (like the parkland kids, or the smartest kid in some unknown town whose gpa/Sat might be less than yours but it’s the highest there ) It is a meritocracy you just don’t like the measuring stick they use.[/quote] +1 Although I'm not sure I'd use the word 'meritocracy'. Whatever it is, though, it doesn't matter. If your smart kid isn't chosen for HYPS, they'll be chosen for a slightly less selective college that will be just as capable of educating your child for a successful career.[/quote]
