[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious. Male students get a boost at most top schools, and females get a boost at the technical ones. Students with high IQ's, particularly those without disabilities that impact academics, get boosts at all of them. And of course having financial resources is a boost everywhere. People who feel as though it's OK to respond in this way to a kid's admission when the kid is legacy, do you feel the same way when the kid is UMC, or male, on nondisabled, or smart? All of those are equally accidents of birth. [/quote] Exactly. Is it OK to say "you only got into CalTech because you're female?" Probably helped but I wouldn't say it out loud.[/quote]
