Let me guess Wayne, you went to a five figure private school for which part of K-12?

I didn’t say the second kid overcame anything. I just stated that they didn’t have all the help that the first kid had. If only his dad had been around to get him into scouting, if only his school had guidance counselors that would even push them towards something like being a National Merit Scholar.

You are a privileged little turd that thinks he has bootstrapped his way through life. Guess what, none of us really have for the most part.
Maybe the second kid did have that kind of help. Maybe he had an uncle mentor who paid for tutoring and guided him and played the role of a father.

Maybe the first kid had absentee parents who cared more about money than their child.

In short, your exercise was meaningless, if not just dumb. Two great candidates.

You are pretty defensive about your station in life.

Flip the SAT scores, are you still going with Student A?

We all were born with some level of privilege over someone else we just don’t like to think that it truly gave us an advantage.

I’m sure you know there were a lot of people placed ahead of you because of your background.

The point of student A or B is that it just isn’t that easy to make a choice but we are all going to default back to what seems more like us.

They both sound like really good students. I just think B has way more potential than A.

But you're the one projecting insecurities based on an arbitrary list of qualifications that only you seem to have the background on because you're making it up as you go.

Listening to a person who studied Ivy League affirmative action today and it is clear the objective of the Ivies is to protect the school for the wealthy.
