That's right. It's that time of the year when application decisions start to roll out and students record their reactions to getting accepted, waitlisted, or rejected from the colleges they hope to attend. Which mean... It's also the time when idiotic ideas start to float around about who got in or not and why. Students, parents, college consultants, everyone seems to have an opinion. Let's stop that garbage now. All these opinions are likely completely uninformed guesswork, and leads to nothing more than stirring up a lot of unwarranted resentment and anger toward universities, underrepresented groups, and so on. It happens every year, and it pisses me off because it's just not grounded in reality. So let's please respond with reason, and learn to deal with our emotions in a healthy, mature way, instead of suing.
