Was anyone else frustrated wondering, “Why was there no Posse and/or Questbridge scholarship app filled out by Demar?” by the end of the essay? I hope that wasn’t just me, but it once again just shows how many programs meant for low income, high achieving students still aren’t publicized/understood enough.
To be clear, not frustrated with the student but by the system which isn’t adequate.
@coffeeat3 I, too, was wondering if/when those NPCs would be run. And how much that would have helped both students understand what their financial aid packages might look like before the end of this process.
My overwhelming takeaway, though, was I could never be a reporter because I would’ve probably spent all the time I was supposed to be ‘getting this story’ trying to help educate both students as to what the Supreme Court ruling actually said about what admissions departments can and can’t do, how to create a better list of schools that fit their objectives and budgets and what programs existed to actually help them get further towards their goals.
It would have been nigh on impossible to just write down their assumptions and beliefs if I knew they were mistaken and watch this potential train wreck in slow motion.
