[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a sad state of affairs that educators are now openly saying we don’t have a meritocracy. What do we have? An oligarchy? [/quote] What we have is a college admissions process that was never designed to be a meritocracy. Is that a bad thing? No. Schools want what they want. Pick them accordingly. [/quote] Well stated - the schools know who the "big" families are. Benched lacrosse goalie with 1300 SATs and son of Hedge Fund Dad - welcome to Amherst. Everybody else with those scores - go public and save your $$$. [/quote]
