[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,  do you really think a ton of the kids getting in are 1st gen? They are being sought because they have mire hurdles and are underrepresented.  Do you get what underrepresented means? There aren't that many of them. I wish people would stop focusing on the underrepresented few. Those kids are not "beating out" some private school kid for the same spot. That's not how it works.[/quote]

In fact, there are lots of URMs and FGLIs.[/quote]

Not really.  You just telegraphed that you have no experience with these schools.[/quote]

We probably have a different idea of what "lots" means.  Just compare test scores.[/quote]
??? Compare scores with whom? And how does this relate to your assertion of "lots?" And, why are you focused on test scores? Even at schools the prefer or require them, they are not the end-all be-all.  Also, what is you idea of "lots?" More than the handful that exist? How generous.

Again,  you've made it clear you don't have any experience with these campuses. Stop the disinformation. [/quote]

See where the low test score admits come from.[/quote]

Going deep into the application pool to hit targets.  It is just more DEI based discrimination.[/quote]

To whom much is given, much is expected.

Actually, there is really no good excuse why you would lower admission standards for a select group.[/quote]
