SAT scores and GPAs are not determinative factors, they are minimum requirements. Geesh. Get a clue. And even with that, schools like Princeton will take math geniuses who can’t write their own name if their potential is high enough.
Uh no. If you take a second and look at the racial makeup of for example Harvard you’ll find it is disproportionately white compared to SAT score and underrepresented by black students. https://admissionsight.com/harvard-diversity-statistics/#:~:text=Harvard diversity statistics shows that,race, 0.197 percent students who It really doesn’t matter though because all we are going to end up with is schools nixing the SATs.
You recycling the old leftist tripe that a showing of proportionate representation of various races and ethnicities lets an institution off the hook. Nope. That's old 1960's affirmative action stuff- which is fine- but just a starting point. The constitution prohibits discrimination against all persons on the basis of race as individuals- not in the aggregate. You cannot make an adverse decision about a person on the basis of race and then justify it by arguing "oh, I have done my required quota for the year." Another good appointment to the Court by a Republican president will help to clarify this for you and your ilk.
Asian-American student with 1590 SAT score rejected by 6 elite colleges, blames affirmative action https://www.foxnews.com/media/asian...by-6-elite-colleges-blames-affirmative-action
No. You don’t get it. There are plenty of students that are not accepted to top schools with higher a SATs score than this kid and other kids, some of whom are Asian, that are accepted with lower scores. You’re too focused on scores and gpa, when they are really minimum requirements not determining factors. But like I said, it doesn’t matter because all that is going to happen is the SATs are going to be nixed.
You have to wonder how bland was this kids extra cuticular activities to be rejected by 6 top schools like that. I wonder if he had AP classes too.
It is what it is. Our ET trolls should remember this. BRICS is getting stronger by the day. The day will come where a lot of the good paying jobs will all be abroad. Americans will have to compete in the world economy. Do you think they will hire the lazy slugs who do not measure up to doing the job? So, discriminate, promote racism at the highest levels because the days of extreme liberal slugs (most of the bums), not the extreme liberal slugs at the top (there is only a handful of them) getting a free ride is just about over. When you have killed the golden goose, what have you got left? That applies to our extreme liberal slugs, Cuddles4BS and other ET trolls from abroad. When companies start hiring based on competence, how many of you ET trolls will survive? And the best US jobs are getting sent abroad. GE signed a deal with India and to manufacture jet engines in India. And with robotics coming in huge numbers, there will even be less jobs and intense competition coming.
"TreeFrogTrader" is the uneducated moron who thought people had to have Canadian lineage back to the 1800s to be "Real Canadians". He has NO expertise applicable to debate college admissions to strong programs. And WTF is this stupid "progressives" note supposed to mean ? The irony here is being progressive is a excellent attribute to have. He thinks it's a a negative. Then again, he also thinks that many immigrants and successful woman are negatives too, and it's his job to post about it on the internet.
