Now with no tests, merit, or recommendations plus new quotas for URMs and first time college it’s just like spinning a wheel who picks you for the x colored, x gendered, x race, x geography’s, etc.

Kids are even applying for math or stats (or engineering) just to get IN to the school, then quickly switch to liberal arts or sociology. Total game. So ridiculous.

Meanwhile everyone’s pissed there aren’t enough XYZ folks in finance, stem, med yet no one earns a relevant major or can demonstrate actual interest! Much easier to just do “journalism” blogging about it.

Careful your racism is showing

Not the PP. but you’re annoying. No racism. But I’d says tests don’t equal merit.

I bet that is your response to any facts you don't like.

+100 These private schools are doing their students no favors by gutting their GPAs and not providing any weighting of grades. Very few kids are getting into these top state schools. The ones at our school will likely also be accepted into Ivies.

Yes, it’s all SO unfair!

Go back to the public school forum with your kid’s 4.6 GPA

The reason is that the education, on average, is much better in the better school: peers, on average, are better; teachers, on average, are better; facilities, on average, are better; course offerings, on average, are better. The expected education outcome is better. Otherwise, why would invest in schools at all?

Exactly! You also have some families who value different grades. I have two kids at top elementary school in DC, I plan to go private for middle/High. You have some people that do private for elementary and middle, public for High.

Good luck. Do you know this is easier said than done? At our top (JKLM) DCPS elementary last year, at least 12 kids applied to the top privates at 6th and one got in. ONE. It's not like you can just "go private for middle school" unless you go several tiers down for private.
