[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What an excellent story. Kudos to those student journalists for looking under this rock. The fact that virtually all of the Foundations students are legacies and wealthy is so sloppy by BC. And the whole “you rich kids who didn’t meet our admissions criteria will be leaders to the poor first-gen students” message—which the admissions guy does not deny!—is vile. [/quote] My read is completely different. I think it’s insulting to be recommended for this program, not an honor in the least. I don’t know why anyone would consider doing it. Many colleges have similar routes for kids who miss the mark. I agree it’s gross, but not at all for the reasons you do. [/quote]
