[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, of course, ALL THE TIME! Are you new here? There’s NEVER a guarantee of getting into a top 20, no matter how high the stats. And if the child is an [b]UMC white kid from the suburbs [/b]who isn’t a recruited athlete, it’s more likely that they won’t get in. [/quote]

[b]Most of the kids at T20s ARE UMC white kids from the suburbs.[/b]

The recruited athlete thing is overblown given the limited roster spots, but guess what? Most of those T20 athlete roster spots go to UMC white kids too!

Not necessarily. DP here.

OP, until the last couple of years, qualified applicants did not apply to all T20s - now, it is common place, and there are videos by students who do so (and get accepted to most/all). It seems students feel that they now have to apply to all T20s, not just their select few. So you may not be getting accurate information, even if they applicant was accepted, they may or may not have applied to all, as students currently do . [/quote]

Another DP. White and Asian are the majorities by far at T20, but you seem to be suggesting that somehiw URMs have more acceptances overall? The only way to consider the amount of overall acceptances is anecdotally,  and those echo the admitted stats. Kids getting into several T20s are also heavily white and Asian. If you go on these campuses, you really see how much of a discrepancy there is.[/quote]
because most who apply are UMC white/asian students.

That's the fallacy of "diversity" in college.   The applicant pool does not look like the demographics of the whole population, so college won't be able to reflect the diversity of the population as a whole.[/quote]
