<p>ParentofIvyHope - Why should the colleges limit their admission of special populations? They need to do what is working for the INSTITUTION. They are not going to admit students for whom there is a high probability of failure. They may admit students with lower stats than rejected students, but if those students flunk out, it doesn't help the institution. They have a pretty good idea of which students are going to be successful and which aren't. The problem that you are having is that there are many students who could be successful at a highly elite institution and not enough spaces for all those students. </p>
<p>"These are private but are exploiting us only. They charge a lot of tuition but are not ready to fund increase capacity. "</p>
<p>They aren't exploiting you at all. You are only being exploited if you choose to participate. You don't have to donate to the schools. You don't have to apply to the schools. You can completely ignore the schools. And my guess is that if your child gets admitted you will gladly shell out the tuition and feel grand that YOUR child got admitted and not expect them to increase capacity for the dollars that you are paying.</p>
<p>The fact is, there are many excellent schools in the US that provide a wonderful education. However, the perception is that the best education is only provided by an elite few. The elite few like this perception and have no incentive to change it. As long as you have this perception it will drive you crazy that your child might not get admitted. Once you begin to realize that this perception is not particularly accurate, you can take a deep breath and start looking at schools that will provide an excellent education while still admitting more than 10% of their applicants.</p>
