[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe how many people on this thread are defending legacy preferences. So much for pretending that this country is a meritocracy. Try to think beyond your own kids and grandchildren. The world would be a better place if we could think beyond our tiny insular family bubble [/quote] I think affirmative action, the recent admissions scandal, the anti-Asian discrimination, and athlete recruitment make it very clear that college admissions is far from a meritocracy. In this hunger games environment, every parent is grabbing whatever advantage they have.[/quote] This. The US should learn from other countries how to run college admissions.[/quote] No. We don’t need to make things even more classed based and elitist. [/quote]
