[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only real information I glean from this study is how opportunity and inequality work at the very top of higher education and that these schools do not admit students based purely on merit. Nothing surprising.[/quote] Define merit? They all admit on merit. Their definition of merit may not align with yours but the do not admit unqualified students.[/quote] DP I think when people say merit in the academic context, they mean academic merit or sometimes mere IQ. They usually don't think it includes skin color or where your parents went to school.[/quote] OR what social circles your paents run in, or how famous your mom is, or how many generations of your family attended the fine institution after great-great-Grandpa's generous donation, or who signed your letters, or whose list you got on through favors, and so on.[/quote]
