[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised foreign intelligence services haven’t hacked admissions data from the top thirty schools and released it to sow discord in the country.

If I was a collection manager at fsb or Chinese intelligence, I would put resources into such an operation - I wonder if they know how much of a societal “pain point” this could be.[/quote]

Only a tiny % of the nation cares; it's mostly grubby desperate strivers are obsessed with college admissions. Rich pull some strings and handle it, or just send their kid to Trinity or Hobart and William Smith or Tulane and they're fine. Poor and middle class are too dull to care about anything more than the in-state flagships.[/quote]

OMG. This tiny percentage of the country is sick and tired of gatekeepers. I have first hand experience with this and my child has monetary damages. This “problem” isn’t as innocuous as you claim when future earninga are ripped out of your kid’s hands after having scored in the 99th percentile.

“The poor and middle class are too dull to care about anything more than in-state flagships?” This statement alone boils my blood.

I can’t wait to see where my nephew with a 1590 gets in and where he gets rejected from fresh off last year’s brutal killing fields.[/quote]

Geezus - my kid scored in the 99th percentile and I didn’t have any entitled expectations about where she’d end up.
You do realize that 30,000+ kids scored 99th percentile on those tests don’t you?[/quote]
