[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College in the U.S. went from crapshoot to total crapshoot.

Now with no tests, merit, or recommendations plus new quotas for URMs and first time college it’s just like spinning a wheel who picks you for the x colored, x gendered, x race, x geography’s, etc.

Kids are even applying for math or stats (or engineering) just to get IN to the school, then quickly switch to liberal arts or sociology. Total game. So ridiculous.

Meanwhile everyone’s pissed there aren’t enough XYZ folks in finance, stem, med yet no one earns a relevant major or can demonstrate actual interest! Much easier to just do “journalism” blogging about it.[/quote]

Careful your racism is showing[/quote]

Not the PP. but you’re annoying. No racism. But I’d says tests don’t equal merit. [/quote]

How does one show merit nowadays, outside of competitive sports? [/quote]

Says a lot about college admissions that you consider competitive sports to be “merit”.   Only in America. [/quote]

That’s is such a strange way to look at things. Of course it’s merit. So are other things. But it’s got sure not the standardized tests and cram
schools.[/quote]

So let me understand - test scores are not merit because they are the result of studying, tutors and cram schools.

Athletics are merit even though they’re the product of private coaching, expensive travel teams and practice.

Got it. [/quote]
