[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it is a lottery and sometimes the bright kids just get in. i have a friend who lives outside boston, twins went to public, no hooks, no college counselors, one to stanford and one to MIT.[/quote] I take mild issue with it being a “lottery” because all these kids have met a very high threshold already to be considered, then, they must have something sparkly or special. Maybe even just a great funny essay. Lottery suggests it is random, and it’s not, IMO. [/quote] Of course it’s not an actual lottery. They aren’t pulling names from a hat. But when there doesn’t seem to be clear rhyme or reason it begins to feel subjective, not objective. [/quote]
