[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, How do you propose to police these qualitative and subjective assessments? When you apply, should the AO bluntly tell you they didn’t admit your kid because you seem like an overbearing jerk? Or that kid seems a bit whiney while playing with blocks? Or that the other kid in the room just seems more articulate than yours? Then will you still cry racism anyway because you think your kid was smarter and better in every way?

TBH the process of admitting kids seems a bit like a beauty pageant in that it seems totally subjective. But I still like holistic admissions schools better than admissions “by the numbers” like in your vision. [/quote]

Darling, I never said “by the numbers” but spell out clearly if a kid is admitted because the school likes the skin color. 
Used to be legal in Harvard, not anymore. Still is legal in schools. Not sure for how long.

I looks like You’re one of the lobotomized parents in this thread.[/quote]

How sad that you can't engage in civilized discourse without insulting others. Personally, if I were an AO, that is why I would reject your application. [/quote]

Agree.  It is not very clever  to say  : “Then will you still cry racism anyway because you think your kid was smarter and better in every way?” [/quote]
