[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know this isn’t true. Look at the Harvard and UNC lawsuits. Look at TJ’s new admissions standards. Look at the criminal spotlight on rich people buying their kids spots at schools. If it was purely based on a kid being a better student, first generation, minorities, legacies, sports, etc. wouldn’t matter. They do and it means often the smartest kids are excluded somewhere because another student with non academic pros beats him out. [/quote] And…that is life. Life is not fair. [/quote] It depends on how you define fair. No one is losing out on a great education by being turned down by an elite college. The only thing lost is bragging rights in crowds who care about that sort of stuff. I guess it's unfair if those rights are the ultimate goal, but I feel sad for anyone for whom it is.[/quote]
