WSJ: The Admissions Police

<p>When do we talk about the Rich kids whose parents buy them in? Does anyone have the guts to discuss the dishonesty of the Adcoms and parents who figure out a deal. I am more interested in that discussion. Why is this accepted.
Speaking of unappreciated ADCOMs- boohoo. I'll bet there are plenty of personal goodies, favors, gifts, jobs offered to them or their children and accepted. How would you know? NO TRANSPARENCY! They are only human right? Like Judges, Senators, Congressmen etc. We discuss everything but this disturbing issue. Every year someone on this board knows a kid or two who gets in somewhere out of nowhere. We all know why in our hearts. What lesson does that teach?</p>
