[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, GDS is an elite high school that enrolls lots of kids with connections. Even if they aren’t legacies, they all know people. That’s why these kids do so well with college admissions. The rich get richer. Not exactly a Man Bites Dog story. [/quote] Meaning? Their parents somehow pulled strings to get their kids in?[/quote] Not quite. Meaning that their privilege is so pervasive in so many ways, large and small, that [b]them having great success in college admissions is preordained.[/b] It’s just the way the world works. Fortunately, in the end it really doesn’t matter that much. [/quote] Their parents of these kids are outliers. They kids are bound to be successful. The number one thing parents should be asking themselves if they want to know if their own kid could/will have this success with college admissions at GDS: "Have I pushed the limits of innovative thinking and success myself?" Sounds like I'm joking but I'm not. I think you either have these genes or you don't. [/quote]
