[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The implicit racism in this thread and the Hopkins threadis quite something.  We have a black.student from our academically rigorous private (not in DC) who got into every Ivy this year, on full scholarship in high school and at college, single parent. She was a superstar the minute she stepped on campus at the private, one of the smartest kids in the class, class President umpteen times, leadership roles in many clubs, ran her own small business.

The elite schools are not trading down in talent  as they become more diverse.[/quote]

And many kids just like her were rejected due to their race.[/quote]

The laws were meant to catch the kids in disadvantaged neighborhoods without means to good public education.  Your daughter attended a rigorous academic private from an affluent home.[/quote]

I believe single parent = low income.  Nobody describes the mother as single parent if it is Sheila Johnson (as example...who is a billionaire).[/quote]

But the white single mother is not afforded the same admissions boost. We have those at our private as well.  [/quote]

I guarantee the white superstar kid at a private school with a low-income single mother gets a boost over all the unhooked UMC and wealthy white kids.  If 1st gen, then a double boost.[/quote]
