[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid who was a NMS, had 35 ACT, countless APs and extremely high GPA, three sport athlete and involved in leadership activities got rejected by almost every Ivy League (she didn’t apply to one - rejected by the rest).

Very jaded here. [/quote]

It isn't her.  I know you know that but you need to keep repeating it.  It isn't her.

We have 4 kids either graduated from or are currently attending Ivies.  Each of our kids have told us the same thing:  the scandal has caused all sorts of craziness with Ivy admissions.  In the past 2 years our kids have seen an incredible downward trend in the quality of admitted students.

Our kids say they and their friends have noticed and commented about the poor caliber of incoming students.  One of their friends is a TA as he is pursuing his PhD and he wrote the most scathing closed blog post about the quality of this year's Freshman class.  I don't know if the Ivies admissions groups will be able to get back on course or not.  It will be interesting to see.

Just keep repeating, PP, it isn't my daughter, it is the bad process.  Hugs to your daughter that she loves where she ends up choosing and knowing that they wanted her for her.[/quote]

To first pp, jaded really?

To pp, what utter BS. I’m sure none of these low caliber are wealthy white students. Check your privilege or send them to a state school where all the top kids are going since they can’t get into an ivy. [/quote]

Huh.

Three of our four kids referred to above are black.  If you don't believe me then you can ask the Steeles.  They don't know us and we always post anonymously; however, they likely will tell you that my husband and I consistently post the same information about our family...so we're probably legit.

But you just keep on keeping on with your racist and bigoted self.   :wink: [/quote]

Your kids sound like idiots... "in 2 years there is a downward trend in admits" WTF even is that. Did they do a study? Are they just talking to kids in the Starbucks? Are they doing a cross comparison in all Ivy's and drawing data from the 80's/90's....

You just sound dumb AF, did you adopt because you don't sound like you could break a 3.0 in HS. [/quote]
