[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After Harvard case came down, colleges are using alternative methods to increase diversity on campus.  The donors/connection are not affected.  Your high performing unhooked kids in private schools or magnet schools will be affected.

This year many colleges have a focus on:
1.  Economical diversity: First gen, Low income
2.  Geographic diversity: Rural area

I wouldn't be surprised to see more rejections and deferrals this year in affluent areas.[/quote]

[b]Yup. Middle/upper middle class white suburban kids are the odd men out and are increasingly getting screwed. No one is throwing a pity party but it has really gone too far in that direction.[/b]

Again, no pity party for these people but I know a lot of Ivy types with kids who are very smart but not quite Ivy level (even with legacy) who are panicking as their kids won't get into the legacy school, and without a legacy or another hook have no shot at the schools a level below. Kids would have been better off if the parents had gone to worse schools.

This is not how it was supposed to be.[/quote]

Has it really? For the past 60 years rural white males have been the most neglected group. Completely invisible, with nobody paying any attention or caring, and look where that has gotten us.[/quote]
