    I was unaware Gloria had a fashion design school in a strip mall for transexuals. Bully for you.

    Your poor syntax indicates that you “got” in Venderbilt, Snowflake.

    Perhaps you could have qualified as the janitor of the dorm rooms.

    now you need better comprehension.
    scores are empiracle data - objective. any adjustment factors by nature ( even if they have scores too)
    are by nature a subjective assign

    If even posts as short of mine exceed your capacity for finding core ideas, you should practice actually reading, instead of skimming. You'll get better with practice.

    I've never even heard of "Venderbilt." As for my syntax, it was fine.

    "Empiracle" isn't a word, and "objective" doesn't mean "unadjusted." Objective adjustments are possible.

    Hilarious. If you're going to try to attack my sentence structure and syntax, shouldn't you at least master subject-verb agreement?

    Sure. There are two defensible reasons for it. First, it enriches university life for the full student body. Exposure to people who haven't enjoyed a great run of luck gives everyone a closer view into what can be accomplished in the face of adversity, while also making people more immediately aware of the form that adversity can take (e.g., seeing a classmate struggling with a handicap can inform a person's understanding of issues facing those with handicaps). Second, as between two people who have covered the same distance, the one who did so over tougher ground accomplished something more impressive, suggesting greater skill or diligence. For example, picture you were putting together a track team, and you had two potential recruits, one of whom ran a 10.1 100m wearing the best racing shoes on the market and with running form that shows he's been enjoying elite coaching. The other runs a 10.2, wearing cheap and worn-out Walmart sneakers, and with a ragged form that tells you his high school coach was just a moonlighting teacher who didn't know anything about track. Which do you want on your team? I'd take the guy who ran the 10.2, because if he's that fast with so much going against him, I'm pretty sure he can wind up a lot faster than the guy who's running 10.1 with everything already in his favor. Well, in the same way, if I can recruit a student who maybe is slightly less accomplished academically, but got to that point over serious obstacles, I'm going to see more potential there.
    In your opinion.

    How could being accorded favorable consideration for having been born into circumstances a candidate had no control over be a "qualification" based on "overcoming" those circumstances?

    sure it's a word - an important word for mathematics and test scores.
    empirical based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic.
    your'e not so childish as to attack my writing over a spelling error are you?
