[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are just jealous accept it and move on that Newark student accomplished a lot and deserved the acceptances.   [/quote]

Not jealous in the least...I think it is great for him! I think it is also fine to post about him or others with similar stats and hooks on places like this. What I object to is someone posting a snippet of his story [b]with the clickbait title [/b]that this one has. There is zero shame in using all advantages that are available...they should be used and I am glad it worked for this kid!

Saying John Doe got into Yale with a 1310 SAT so don't be thinking it isn't possible is very different from saying John Doe got into Yale with a 1310 SAT and he is FGLI/from a rural unrepresented area/a recruited athlete/the kid of a famous rich person/etc.

Idiotic thing to write. Do you expect posters to fit the entire story in the thread title ?[/quote]

You're right. It would far too hard to write something like: "FGLI admitted to all ivies with a 1400s SAT" or "Newark FGLI admitted to all ivies" or even "FGLI admitted to all ivies." [/quote]

[b]The point is not for you to copy his story, right?  That certainly wouldn’t work.  Your DC have to work on his own unique narrative.[/b]  The point is exactly what the title says.

If the title says “FGLI admitted to all ivies”, that would be a clickbait.[/quote]

Your response above shows you are still confused. Almost every other responder has pointed out his hooks (geographic location, his profile compared to his local peers, FGLI, minority, etc status) and yet you still can’t acknowledge that critical info was missing from the original post. Are you OP?

As for the bolded, YOU are missing the issue: no one from an high achieving area can copy his story. The title remains misleading without adding “For hooked students…” into it. [/quote]
