[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone so bitter?[/quote]

There are no clear "rules" or standards for admission. Two seemingly identical applicants can have two very different outcomes, leading to very logical feelings of unfairness. [/quote]

No kid is more “entitled” to admission than any other.

Colleges aren’t obligated to admit students based on the criteria that YOU want.

Sure, colleges can use whatever criteria they want, so long as there is no economic price to pay.  [b]But let's see what criteria they shift to when the federal government revokes their participation in federal student financial aid programs.[/b][/quote]

Let's use Williams college as an example. Federal student financial aid is 0.6% of their budget. I'm pretty sure that they would be more than willing to give up that money to get the current bunch of clowns out of their business. If the nonsense doesn't stop it would not surprise me to see the top SLACs go in that direction, they don't need fed money.[/quote]
