[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]AA, DEI, war on merit. All of these make it harder and harder for the non-hooked students. And you’re all fueling this disastrous failure our education system. [/quote] Nope. You can beat that drum as much as you want, but it still won't be true. As has been discussed many, many times on this board, [b]AA & DEI have nothing to do [/b]deferrals, wait lists and rejections at schools like Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, SC and TN. In just two classes, Ole Miss and KY are the only SEC safeties. More schools are using ED and the Common App, which has made it easy for kids to apply to the same 40-50 schools. [/quote]
Oh yes it does. It’s the ripple effect. When there are a lot of uncertainties at the top, ppl will apply to more schools, increasing the competitiveness at lower tier schools.[/quote]

DP...but the competition "at the top" is from a wide variety of factors such as foreign applicants but mostly the common app, where kids can hit a button and score an application, whereas 25 years ago, one had to actually type up an application...much higher bar.

But sure, blame the black people.

+1 I do agree that TO threw fuel on the fire for the top 150 schools. However, the elimination of AA, DEI, and TO will not solve the problems that several posters have outlined. The problems existed long before TO and the DEI bandwagon that schools hopped on in the last four years.  [/quote]
