I know this is nothing new. I went to HS with [b]many children of billionaires[/b], most of whom ended up at ivies despite not having the grades. Life is not fair, college admissions is not fair.[/quote]

Well in 1990 there were 66 billionaires in the entire US, so I am calling bs on this: https://americansfortaxfairness.org/billionaires/

Stay away from hyperbole and you'll be easier to believe.[/quote]

Yes, and four of them had kids at my school.[/quote]

OP, you're so tone deaf it's absurd.  You went to high school with kids of *multiple* billionaires, so you've obviously come from a privileged background.  Your family is likely UMC at a minimum, and probably affluent.  I'm sure your daughter has had multiple enrichment courses, classes, etc, all to help with college admissions.  And you're whining about the unfairness of it all?  Gimme a break.  [/quote]

100%. OP is of the affluent class and is bemoaning why her already privileged child doesn't get more privileges. There is very little to feel sorry for here - particularly when she's touting her connection to billionaires, ivies, and the like. OP is classic toxic DCUM.

Sorry sports aren't your thing. Other kids are good at them and they get rewarded. Why? Because the public pays to watch them thereby creating value. Is it unfair? Maybe but so is being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Guess you can't win them all. [/quote]
