That's because you view college as the destination instead of part of the journey.  There are many paths to a successful life and going to a T20 school doesn't guaranty any particular outcome.[/quote]

No you are assuming too much.
You view the unfair and fuked up system is ok.  
That's fine. [/quote]

It’s unfair, but definitely not to you.[/quote]

Again you assume too much.

[/quote]

Let me rephrase that: it’s very unfair to kids from SE DC or from rural West Virginia.

Does that fit you?[/quote]

[b]Don't they get bump up and advantage??[/b]

I don't get any advantage.

[/quote] We are from SE, DC.  And I don't mean Capitol Hill, we are east of the river.   What is this bump up and advantage? I'm out of the loop.[/quote]

The person mentioned SE, DC meant low income Blacks.
If you are, you get bonus points in college admissions [/quote]

Oh yeah. All of those sharp elbowed kids from Anacostia.

(I mean the ones who manage to avoid getting shot by the time they reach 18.)

Hogging all of the slots at Princeton and such.

After you spent ALL of that money on consultants, test prep, and expensive club sports.  :roll:

I literally overhead a kid on the DC Streetcar yesterday. He was Facetiming a family friend with pride to let them know that he had gotten accepted into Prince George's community college.

According to College Factual, that school's six year graduation rate is 9%.

You people need to get out of your bubble from time to time.

You really do.[/quote]

If the community has a problem, they need to fix the community.
They need to fix the source of the problem rather than giving them free points.

[/quote]

What’s do you think the “source of the problem” is?  I’m very curious.[/quote]

I don't run that city. 
It's the mayor and governor's job.
