[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh, that's interesting.  Does the new admissions head really think that full paying students are unqualified?  That's ridiculous. And I say that as someone who was full pay and will be full pay for kids.  I was super qualified and my kids are too--super bright, test really well, serious students, etc.  Talk about stereo typing gheesh.  Trinity still gets very qualified applicants and students and has a selective yield so why isn't that being taken into account with the rankings? [/quote]

Point of clarification - the admissions head isn't saying that all full pay kids are unqualified. What he's trying to do is [b]stop accepting unqualified kids who are admitted only because they are full pay[/b] and Trinity needs full pay kids to help cover its budget deficit. For a number of years, Trinity has accepted these kids - purely for financial reasons - and that has helped contribute to a diminished intellectual environment. While it's an admirable goal, I'm not sure where Trinity gets the money it needs without them.[/quote]
