πŸ€” I think it's messed up that they're trying to recruit from just 50 private schools. It sounds like they're basically saying "if you didn't go to one of these fancy schools, we don't want you". That's not fair and it's gonna make a lot of people feel left out. 🚫 The idea that only students from elite schools are smart enough for certain subjects is just ridiculous. I mean, what about all the state-educated students who are actually really talented? πŸ€“ We need more diversity in universities, not less. It's like they're trying to recreate the same old elitist culture that we're trying to change. πŸ˜’
 
Ugh, this is like, so frustrating 🀯... Can't they just mix it up a bit? I mean, I get what Trinity Hall's trying to do - attract top talent - but by targeting super expensive private schools, aren't they kinda creating a whole other tier of exclusivity that's gonna be even harder for state-educated students to crack into? πŸ€” And honestly, the whole "reverse discrimination" thing is just a fancy way of saying "we're too scared to admit people who don't fit our perfect mould". It feels like they're more worried about their own reputation than actually helping out those from different backgrounds... Sigh. Can we please just get some genuine diversity and inclusion around here? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
