John_Kenyon User ID: 77014134 United States 03/15/2019 04:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know because I was an "elite" performer academically, as were many of my friends in high school / college. My girlfriend was in the mid 1500s/1600 on her SATs and the guidance counselors were recommending state schools. Ivy wasn't even an option -- there was just no chance in hell, so it wasn't worth wasting the application fees. I was a 99%ile kid myself, National Merit Scholar, state-level athlete, all that stuff. Same deal. I could get a full ride to 90% of schools in the country, but it was pointless to apply to even the "worst" Ivies. A buddy of mine got a 1600/1600 SAT, was valedictorian, a sate-level musician, had so many accolades they'd sink a boat. Rejected by the Ivies he applied to. Meanwhile, another classmate, mediocre mind, lower test scores, utterly "boring" in comparison to the rest of the bright set at my school. Yet somehow he manages to get into Princeton. There are no prizes for guessing his ethnicity. c'est la vie, right? |

Super Crayton User ID: 75103367 Norway 03/15/2019 05:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In regards to the whole "rich people buying access" thing. I always thought that was how it was done in those upper-tier schools. Quoting: Bullshitter They leave a small percentage of slots "open" for the random public, but the vast majority are bought. Either through "donations" or money-driven "networking". I'm more shocked at the outrage than I am the act. Thought everybody knew this was how it was done. Guess that's what I get for being a plebe. It makes it look like every rich kid is smart since they are going to the Harvard’s, the Yale’s, etc....... There’s stupid people in the lower class, middle class and upper class ranks of society. Just because a person has money doesn’t mean their automatically somehow smarter than everyone else. I know some people who own their own business that are complete morons. They have a bunch of “Yes” men around them and get unimaginably enraged if they are told no or if someone doesn’t like their idea. When I say enraged I mean childishly enraged almost to the point of stomping their feet and throwing themselves on the ground kicking and screaming making a big fool of themselves in front of adults. They have no concept of the word “no”. Other people I know who own their own business are super smart. Super Crayton |
