Can we call it a meritocracy when students who grow up in wealthy neighborhoods with elite schools and test prep get admitted because of high test scores over a student who grew up with no advantages, worked their tail off in inferior schools but scored lower on a test? — PolitiTweet.org

@pinotarheelred I'd argue your definition of "less qualified" is deeply flawed and also shows lack of knowledge of how college admissions work. — PolitiTweet.org

Meritocracy is impossible as long as we have a vastly unequal system of K-12 schools. Holistic admissions take into account the whole student, not just the test scores that reflect advantage more than anything else. — PolitiTweet.org
