"homogeneous group of students who are indistinguishable from one another"

Well you've revealed your bias.  You're not going to be able to make a convincing case for your views after that.  Randomly tossing in words like "correctly" and "undeniably" isn't going to fool anyone.[/quote]

I mean, that's what college admissions officers say about TJ and its students[/quote]

[citation needed][/quote]

You can't cite conversations and no admissions officer in their right mind would ever put it in writing.

But yeah, they can't tell the difference between the 150+ applicants every year who all have 4.3+ GPAs, all do Model UN or Debate, all have the same AP profile, all have attempted to start up their own non-profits, and all want to study some flavor of engineering, CS, or pre-med. And if you've been on the ground at TJ at all in the last ten years, you know that this is the reality.[/quote]

You can make that argument about any group of 150+ students within a similar performance range, so it doesn't support the idea that they're perceived as homogeneous.  It only supports the idea that the person making that claim views high-performing students as an out-group.[/quote]
