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

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

For every open seat at a school like Harvard or UNC, there are literally thousands of qualified people. No one is owed that seat. Colleges select not by lining up all the highest test scores and GPAs, but by looking at any number of factors. I know. I once worked in admissions. — PolitiTweet.org
