[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big elephant in the room: how in the world is this fair? Why should someone who can play sports or has a parent attending the college get up to a 15x boost to acceptance rate (PRINCETON) AND lower GPA? I see all the attacks on URM and this is very much the same phenomenon, if not more drastic. Sickening that so many well-qualified students- who demonstrate ability in more meaningful ways- are getting cut out from great schools over these mediocre ones. [/quote] I don't mind athletes as they put time in - it is like a full time job. What i mind are the legacies and the $$$$ and connected. These kids are accepted not for what they have accomplished but what their parents, grandparents, etc have accomplished. How is this fair?[/quote]
