[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we realized how hard it is to be top 10% in w schools? This county has almost the best public school system, if we don’t consider privates. Many top 10% students there could be top 1% in average schools. Considering UMDCP ranks #46. There should be guaranteed acceptance, not only to top10%, probably 15%. [/quote] Being top 10% at Whitman is way easier than living in poverty and being a target of systemic racism and still managing to make it to the top 10% at an under resourced school. Furthermore, the latter student brings a much needed perspective to the University that the UMC kid from Whitman does not bring.[/quote] Like what? What are they bringing to a CS class or an EE class specifically related to their background of poverty / systemic racism? What they are (or should be) bringing is their intellect which contributes to enhancing the content/quality of the class. [/quote]
