[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what we foreigners have been saying for years, OP. In the rest of the world, there is a formula, or at least much more of one than here. You have the grades, you get in, is what it essentially boils down to.

Here admissions committees are allowed to be racist, discriminatory, and they openly favor children of alumni, children of billionaire donors, and children with no particular academic strength who happen to be good at sports.

It's disgusting, and yet, the brain-washed American people continue to believe it's a great "holistic" system and they beggar themselves or their children to get in, instead of voting for politicians who might make university low-cost, like in other developed countries.

And in the rest of the world, those who attend a school that grades a bit tougher are out of luck. Those who have to work to help their families survive and thus have less time to devote to studying are out of luck. Those who have any interest outside of studying, studying, studying are out of luck. Those who volunteer their time to help others are out of luck. Etc...

The US system is vastly superior to the above. It's not like kids with a 3.0 and 1100 SATs are getting into UVa in large numbers. We're talking almost exclusively about kids with a bit lower numbers and something major going on outside of perfecting their GPA and test scores.[/quote]
