I'm calling BS on this.

PP is careful not to detail the so-called "passion" that DC excels at.  That is either because PP is making it up, or because the "particular passion" is so rare that revealing it would compromise anonymity (e.g., the DC is the daughter of a famous person (unlikely) or a celebrity (e.g., Jody Foster going to Princeton).  I think it is probably BS, but in either case unspecified exceptions don't mean much.  No one denies that there are exceptional cases.  The averages don't lie.[/quote]

You're absolutely right. There's no way I'm going to out my DD to a troll such as yourself. Many national-level awards are quite specific.

I really don't give a flying you-know-what whether some troll on DCUM believes me or not. You can educate yourself with actual facts like the one I just provided re 2100 SATs, or you can ignore it because it doesn't fit your bigoted worldview. I certainly won't be worrying about what you think.

Buh bye, troll![/quote]

Curious. Bigotry is a state of mind.  How does one glean the state of mind of others known only from an anonymous message board post?  Someone who disagrees with you on affirmative action has a "bigoted worldview?"  Whoa! Quite a leap there.

A lot of people (two-thirds of Americans according to one source) believe college applicants should be admitted solely based on merit - are they all bigoted?
