Unfair Admissions Processes

I've seen so many complains about how the college admissions process is so 'unfair' and how it disadvantages so many students. Okay. How else would you rather have it? Other countries have a single exam for the whole country, and then based on that single number alone, they are GIVEN choices of a few majors to choose from. Trust me, we're so much luckier than so many students all around the world. Also, what's with all the talk about legacy admissions and having rich parents? Jokes about donating this and that are admittedly very funny, but how can you genuinely complain about those policies? The kid's parents worked so hard to get to where they are: in a position to pay for a good future. Isn't that what we all want? Would you not make use of it if you were him/her? As a LI kid, I 1000% believe that this admissions system (even though it has flaws!) is actually all round very holistic.

And even more often I see international students complain about the aid processes, and it's so wild how they're so entitled. As an international myself, I always expect the worst, since it's what's reasonable. Like bro ITS NOT EVEN YOUR COUNTRY why are you expecting full aid. If you really think you're SO talented, then do what sm other millions have done, and start from scratch in your home country. Thx for listening
