[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Ok...but why should ANY kid give a damn about how YOU or anyone else think they got there? Let them wonder. That is more your issue than it is hers. I tell my own kids and kids that mentor that it should not matter how you got there. If you show up, do the work and take advantage of the opportunities, then it is all good. But do not give one thought to other people speculating about why you got an opportunity. Because a White kid could be dumb as a rock and get in because of legacy status. Not one of you would look at him and think twice about him belonging at that school. But a POC gets in and now everyone wants to second -guess and parse her accomplishments. [/quote] You guys act like smart kids can't tease out who's dumb within 30 seconds. Dumb jocks and dumb legacies and dumb affirmative action admits are all put in the same category by their actually accomplished peers.[/quote]
