[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-- $2 million gift (see: Jared Kushner, Harvard) -- recruited athlete -- URM with decent grades/scores[/quote] I am so tired of this crap about URMs and recruited athletes having it made. My kid is both. College admissions was still stressful and difficult and it didn't help that people would say he "had it easy." He got into a couple of 'elite' schools but turned them down for a school ( and a coach) who cared more about him as a person, not just an athletic asset. And a school where he felt at home and at ease, rather than having to be 'on' all the time. [/quote] So... he got in. You’re not making the point you think you are.[/quote]
