As colleges become more difficult to get into, and the education gap keeps widening, there has been considerable debate on how much merit plays a role in the college admissions process, the idea that any student who works hard can go to college if they want to. “Instead, events like the indictment of 33 adults charged with bribery and fraud relating to college admissions force us to confront the uncomfortable truth that no amount of hard work can equal the impact that money and class status have on higher education.” (The Daily Cardinal). How much influence should a parent have on their child’s education? Does society have the right to punish parents who are trying to do the best for their children?
Carefully read the following seven sources, including the introductory information for each source. Then synthesize material from at least three of the sources and incorporate it into a coherent, well-written essay in which you develop a position on the impact of merit or parental influence as a key ingredient to college admittance.
Your argument should be the focus of your essay. Use the sources to develop your argument and explain the reasoning for it. Avoid merely summarizing the sources. Indicate clearly which sources you are drawing from, whether through direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary. You may cite the sources as Source A, Source B, etc.
