The quote I’m thinking of, @mathmom, was MIT, one of their bloggers commenting on CC- that anything with a 7 in front can do the work. (And going on to describe how more is needed.) But. that was before the new SAT.

@HappyAlumnus This is SO not about affirmative action.

Anyone can benefit from realizing an admit to a tippy top is NOT about being one dimensional, not about being a big dawg in your own little hs enviornment, or just racking up comm service hours, or titles, founding the pie club, or other limited ideas. Likewise, not about national or international awards or USAMO scores.

And btw, lots of kids ARE having impact, even in small ways. But legit, committments, stretching.

Please don’t knock this kid, just because you can.
