Ahh yes, I am sure there are plenty of "brilliant" people out there that think Hillary is the smartest women in the USA and Bernie is an economics genius.



Considering the backgrounds and towns the students that I know come from-none would be big fans of either Hillary or Bernie.

Since 30% of DD's fellow HS grads went Stanford/MIT/Ivy (100+ kids) just like every year, I"ll just say her entire class was "brilliant" 8-)

At $33,000.00 a year for high school tuition, I would certainly hope so. So do they teach acing the SAT 101? Teaching for admittance does not make brilliance.

Btw, there was a much easier way of getting in.
LOL, what a joke.

Not sure what the "joke" is you speak of?? Admissions standards were not lowered??? Scholarships at the Ivies is based on need- not academic prowess(since all kids getting in are smart and high academic achievers) Also the cost of this is not government money- its from Harvard's Private endowment(the second largest in the world behind Catholic Charities) "Blind Enrollment" means that applicants get in based on academics, not on ability to pay. Did you actually read the article or do a "Black Widow" headline scan?


BTW - My DD attended a public High School that has similar numbers to what ExD1 posted

Not sure why you harbor such anger towards the Ivies?? Did they turn you down?

Excuse me but I always read the articles that I post, unlike the people that respond to my articles who NEVER actually read them but post their inane opinions about them based on their personal bias.

Thanks. I had given up hope that anyone would validate my phrase 'proprietarily apeshit'.
