How does a kid with this of rigor and stats not make it… unreal.
Poor kid.

Lots of reasons.
Major? Does he/she look like everyone else? What's different? What stands out? It can't be grades or scores. So, what else?

Not poor or URM. So much for the SC ruling in 2024.

“Poor” or rural is neutrally applied (not race biased). Perfectly legal

I think that can be argued depending on the majority of the race of the poor. If it is a large swath of lowering performing URMs- it will go to court. If it is more poor whites- likely not.

Thank you, Clarence Darrow.

Schools were never going to simply accept that ruling. They've maneuvered around it by casting a larger net for FGLI in order to also capture URMs. That means even fewer spots for kids from affluent public high schools. Elite schools just don't care about these kids anymore, whereas they used to fill out the large middle of admits.

We have one admit from our mediocre public high school. I think this student has legacy. Also, not rural, low income, athlete or URM.
