Where did the proof of someone of a different race would be accepted.....? You cant just make shit up.
Yes.....all one has to do is claim and it suddenly becomes fact....because FOX said so He got rejected but blames AA....because he was told by the school? What most of you skip over is SAT/GPA is not the only factor nor is it mandatory. What if he got in and someone with a 1590 and 4.7GPA didnt...should he then be booted? Doesnt work that way.
The admissions counselors see how reality works every day and many are advising their advisees accordingly based on reality. If you are black with near perfect test scores you have a good shot at a top school. If you are Asian and have near perfect test scores and the school has reached its quota for Asians you are not good to go. This is what the lefties call "the lived experience of minorities." versus all the white guy arguments about it. The Asians are sharing their "lived experience" but I guess that does not work for them.
He has to bitch about "progressives" and "lefties" on the internet. The real issues in the US include education standards ( eg TreeFrogTrader ).
Given the amount of applicants to Harvard who apply with high SATs and high GPAs is greater than the actual spots available, numerous applicants with high SATs and high GPAs are rejected. Period. Also.....uh.....high SATs and high GPAs are not the only criteria...this has been true for years. Someone with high numbers and nothing else are not as attractive to high end institutions because they are not trying to admit robots with nothing more to offer.
We covered all that a couple times over yesterday didn't we. Take the Asian guys test scores and attach them to a fictious applicant named Lateisha Shavonne Latoya and she is good to go.
This may be an overly naive question... but why don't they just take the "Race" question off the application? Like a blind placebo study in an FDA trial. Before we can truly become a nation with no cultural animosities, it would seem to me that this stuff must be relinquished to the annals of history.
No you hypothesized that plenty times but what we can say for a fact based on the averages is that Asians with lower test scores did get in to Harvard which proves that it is not just about test scores, it is about the essay, recommendations, volunteer work, types of classes taken, leadership opportunities, work experience, internships etc... Why didnt the guy say it was unfair other Asians with lower test scores got in and he didnt? Because facts destroy the story Fox wants to spin...
Dems have a problem with Asians and Jews and increasingly with Muslims. It manifests in many ways. The skids are greased for blacks because they are the core of the Dem Plantation. The others, not so much.
It can be about all those things. Just make the total application consideration void of race. If a kid has perfect sat's but zero extracurricular stuff... well they lose out to someone that had maybe not so perfect scores, but came close, and ran the local YMCA summer camp.
