[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]of course without mentioning any specifics it should go without saying that the race, ethnicity are not mentioned but with those stats members of certain groups would have a better chance than others.  Don't get angry with me - that's just the way it is.[/quote]

[b]yes, rich white athletes, legacies and donors [/b]all would have a substantially better chance of getting in with those stats.  thank you for raising the point.[/quote]

well, OP's DD didn't play any sports (at least OP doesn't mention it), so her kid is not a "rich white athlete," so that factor isn't in play here one way or the other.  OTH, legacy or donor could be, but unlikely.  [b]Race, however, everyone has one[/b].  [/quote]

Indeed, but the handicaps for blacks vs. the penalties for asians are quite different.[/quote]

Let’s not go down that road. At our big 3 last year, other than a few kids, the majority were white.  And most were not even athletes or at least not recruited athletes.  Perhaps some legacy, but for the most part they were just your typical smart, white, rich kids.

Your DD should apply bc she has nothing to lose.  [/quote]
