There is also a 600 pound gorilla in the room. How much of the rejection of certain sutdents has to do with school admissions policies, which are subject to market forces as opposed to social pressures? Are girls rejected only becuase they fail to merit a spot in school (i.e. based on academic performance, standarized test scores etc), or is it due to an unwritten but clearly and well known class system (i.e. certain schools will not accpet children of ba’alei teshuva, others won’t take children whose parents have collebe educations etc.), or even worse, parental snobbery?
