<p>^^that’s funny that you mention that, because a couple of people who got into Harvard were in the newspaper and the principal said they got “perfect” scores. They were around 1800/2400</p>

AHAHAH SUP SIXTH GRADER! i’m pretty sure that statement indicates that you have been humbled :).</p>

<p>

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! are you kidding me? in a meritocracy, merit is **objective<a href=“grades%20and%20scores”>/b</a> not subjective (ECs, essays, recs, etc.).</p>

<p>

don’t really care. that still doesn’t refute the fact that MIT and Caltech both have a hard time recruiting females and as a result take less qualified females over males. also, i find this funny coming from someone who has made a post about “males being better than females at math and science.” using your logic, wouldn’t males be better suited/more qualified to go to a school like MIT or Caltech?</p>

so what? obviously the person would have had to work pretty damn hard for that 1800? i’m sorry but just from looking at some of your posts you seem like a bad person or you’re really insensitive. just be thankful for your own ability and don’t belittle others’.</p>

<p>MODERATOR’S NOTE TO “Which schools are true meritocracies?” THREAD: </p>

<p>I’ll close the thread because there is a distinct lack of, um, merit in several of the recent replies. I’ll leave the thread visible so that the more substantive answers that were posted earlier can still be read.</p>
