[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,  do you really think a ton of the kids getting in are 1st gen? They are being sought because they have mire hurdles and are underrepresented.  Do you get what underrepresented means? There aren't that many of them. I wish people would stop focusing on the underrepresented few. Those kids are not "beating out" some private school kid for the same spot. That's not how it works.[/quote]

In fact, there are lots of URMs and FGLIs.[/quote]

Huge open and vocal priority for certain schools. See Dartmouth. Except it YRM/FG/Rural and international that’s their focus [/quote]

Because there are not many of these students on campus.  Have you ever been to Dartmouth? The number of private school kids is staggering.  When we went for admitted students day, so many were swanky private kids. Very few URMs and almost no first gen. They realize this needs to be a priority, and good for them. My kid might have accepted if there were more diversity. So many Chets....[/quote]
