[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many high SES minority families send their kids to Hardy? It's not about racism, it's about test scores.[/quote] Which is how they might - in the worst of all possible worlds - end up no better than at a college like Williams, from which a degree may cost about $100K and yet still be 100% useless. [/quote] "I'd be thrilled if my kid got into Williams" - says Pomona College alum with friends who graduated from Bates, Swarthmore, etc. BTW the lower your SES and the more difficult your background, especially for sought-after high test score, minorities, the more financial aid you get. Or were you being sarcastic. The worst of all possible worlds? [/quote] For these people, the more expensive and useless the degree, the better. You can be a stay-at-home artist mom (with a nanny, natch) while daddy works for his daddy's real estate business which is basically a printing press for easy, unearned money. These people are simply not going to send their kids to Hardy; not with THAT riff-raff, girl, please. Whereas a Harvard mom just maybe might. Go figure.[/quote]
