Y’all want to know a secret:

Those stories about kids getting a million in scholarships or a ton of scholarships are actually an indication of inequity

A small % of students get all the big scholarships and others will get little to nothing
I see it all the time. One student getting SIGNIFICANTLY MORE than what they need- I’ve had students get $$$,$$$ or $$,$$$ in excess because we apply for anything and everything

Other students, im talking over 4.0 gpa, getting nothing. Like $0 or low amounts
Scholarships tend to pick the same bright star over and over

And no shade to the bright star but it’s frustrating because when that student decides on a school and foregoes the scholarships we rarely see redistribution of the scholarship

@balderdashHere4 @DeeSTEM_Teach @RachelLitLady1 @MoniseLSeward Lets reframe away from irresponsible. I went to law school and have significantly more debt than this. Everyone believed giving me at 23 debt that would take 20-25 years to pay off was responsible

People encouraged it. You’ll pay it all back quickly they said
@balderdashHere4 @DeeSTEM_Teach @RachelLitLady1 @MoniseLSeward It’s actually almost impossible to graduate undergrad now with less than 100k yet the colleges throwing students into debt have millions if not billions in endowment and spend millions marketing to students saying it’s worth it.
@balderdashHere4 @DeeSTEM_Teach @RachelLitLady1 @MoniseLSeward All to say we can’t frame these conversations with I know it is perceived that $$$,$$$ is irresponsible and $$,$$$ is not…

I just think we need to move away from any conversation that says I see that but

I can’t see that. All I see is this should all be free

We also need to make sure that the colleges don’t require it for scholarships

student can be NCAA eligible by grades & scores BUT the college can require higher grades/SAT scores

had test-optional college demand scores from NCAA athletes even after request to apply optional 🧵
And I’m not talking we want you to score around in the range of

I am talking there are colleges I’ve seen tell a student to retake the ACT because they were 1-2 points off or the score was a 1180 and they want 1200. Students who are NCAA eligible but go until score met
To be clear not everyone does this. I’ve had coaches say “close enough” and I had coaches ask “you think (athlete) is academically ready, worried about the score” and had them realize this score isn’t a reflection of their academic ability

Let me explain what I think students need for test-optional to be effective

1. Announce test optional
2. Tell students they won’t be penalized
3. Then tell students HOW applications are reviewed with scores and without

1/
4. Then tell students reviewing with and without certain scores is normal- some schools have test others don’t, some people have AP, others IB, others have standardize scores
5. Tell students some students have some classes others don’t, some students have opportunities

2/
6. Essentially explain there is not this “if all things are equal” and “a student who has the higher score will get the slot”
7. Explain how test were used and how that’s change
8. Explain this is not out of pity for certain students

3/

Always don’t riot

Never to the police hearing my voice stop killing people

Never to the police hearing my voice don’t harm protestors

Then invoking the names of people you kill to tell everyone to behave... y’all cause all of this... it’s you. Stop doing it
Would i personally riot... who cares what the answer is

I understand witnessing people being killed over and over and over again and no consequences

How many people do you expect to kill without consequences
The riots are only happening

The looting is only happening

Because y’all keep behaving this way. So BE BETTER AND STOP KILLING US

I have students deciding how much to pay for undergraduate, where to go, and whether it’s worth it to go to a more prestigious school to better chances of med school

I only know hidden cost of law school (bar exam, living expenses)

MDs- thoughts?
