[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let the highest achieving kids get in and stop with the DEI nonsense.  Just because your kid is disadvantaged and can barely read doesn’t mean they should go to Harvard.[/quote]

I like the way you assume someone who is on Questbridge or who is an admit that provides diversity is somehow a lesser student than your snowflake.

In my experience, these applicants as well as most of the athlete applicants are every bit as academically qualified as your kid. In the case of the athletes, these applicants were spending 25-30 hours a week over and above their academic requirements to hone their skills while your kid was playing minecraft in the basement. And the Questbridge applicants are overcoming much more difficult financial and living conditions yet achieved similar academic results as your upper middle class coddled kid.

So how about lets lose the entitlement. No one is taking your kid's spot at a T20 school. It isn't an entitlement, even if your kid is a legacy.[/quote]

The academic results are not similar.  Not even close.[/quote]
