The Myth of American Meritocracy - food for thought?

<p>Weiss has alot of moxie, something that obviously eluded the schools she didn’t get into. Moxie w/brains and looks = success.
At least she isn’t a cheater, this is real cheating for academic gain for yourselves or your parish:</p>

<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Harvard_cheating_scandal[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Harvard_cheating_scandal&lt;/a&gt; = 125 kids - Harvard Admissions messed up on the integrity/honesty check. Meh.</p>

<p>Remember parents, top colleges are NOT judged by their freshman class, but by their graduating class. Re apply for the second semester sophomore year, where admissions don’t generally look at SAT scores or HS transcripts. Many of the freshman of the leet colleges aren’t going to make it past Freshman year due to the fact they weren’t properly vetted by admissions and don’t really have what it takes to live and succeed in a rigorous academic environment (away from home). If your child has made it through a HADES school with good grades they will be able to do well & succeed at any college, they have been prepped to.</p>
