uh huh, sure until YOU'RE the one being rejected with a higher score and more accomplishments and someone else less qualified is taking your place.
Personal merit & accomplishment are a thing of the past.
These are the people who will be our doctors, scientists "our great thinkers" and educators of the future. Well, I guess out artificially selected evolution will be our species' downfall. it was good while it lasted.
Our species will survive
We still have Russia and China to pull us through.

Being from an affluent family meant I could study as much as I wanted, utilize every technological advancement that helped me learn, and have as much private tutoring as I wanted...


So I got pretty high scores when it came to testing.

Oh honey... you don’t have to be this angry about the fact that my mom makes more in a month than your mom does in a decade...


We all have our own skills and talents.. and while mine happened to be within the academic world, yours are definitely going to show themselves at some point... maybe you can try your hand at being a stand up comic.

I don't know why this is a surprise to anyone. There's a market for it. So the College Board will sell it. More and more colleges are telling kids they don't need the SAT to get into their schools.
So the suits in the marketing department threw around a whole bunch of ideas and, with little regard for whether it's a useful/accurate tool, packaged this.
Don't text while driving. Don''t text while stopped at stop signs and traffic lights. You're not a four year old...exercise some self-control.

She’s a producer.

BJ has been trying to take swipes at my mother for years now because she found out my mother paid for my college education . That INFURIATED her for some reason and she’s never been able to drop it as a reason to start shit.

Are you sure that’s it? It’s not unusual to pay for your children’s education, why pick on your mother? Is the government paying for her children’s education or something?
