If we are to become a truly anti-racist, color blind society;
this nonsense must stop!
Even if the applicant is Asian.

Simple solution
Any private university that receives Federal monies
must maintain anti racist administration.

Prove it.

 

She might be better off. The Ivy League schools gave degrees to Hunter Biden, John Fetterman, and Alvin Bragg. In the old days, kids of my generation would have chopped off their little finger to get into those schools. Now when you see who gets sheepskins from them, it’s not all that impressive.

Their undergraduate schools have been overrated for a long time because many courses were taught by graduate students and not professors. Now their graduate programs are weighted down by wokeness and family connections.

 

For "advantages"
go to Wharton

School of Business
Meet "the powers".
I know unexpected advantaged grads.

The rich schools are where the rich go to buy a degree, isn't it?

 

Not sure how they came to the conclusion that it was because of racism. It could be but I liked some of the other explanations more. It could be that when they interviewed him, he was a jerk.

 

Sometimes it is geography. This hamza alsamraee kid appears to have been living in northern virginia at the time of his rejection. It is entirely possible he was passed over because the quota for that area was already met with legacy kids or more interesting people. Of ocurse, these schools deny they have quotas, but...

 

I may have gotten into Wharton. One of my economics professors, who got his PhD from there was pushing me to apply there after I finished my bachelor’s degree. My score on the economics College Records exam were good enough, but the money would have been stretch, and I was ready to go to work. Ten years later, I got an MBA from Rutgers, which nowhere near as prestigious.

 

That picture isn't of the applicant, but of the podcast host. The applicant is arab, so white under US census rules, and therefore, persona non grata unless a legacy, athlete or foreign student paying full freight for the tuition.

I'll fix...Black LGBT Student with 3.5 GPA and 1160 SAT score accepted by everyone. Check that...SAT's are no longer a fair and equitable representation of qualifications for "certain" students. So, if some students are lucky enough to be first in line so Universities can publish their Diversity quotas on time, they're golden. Early admission kids. Early admission. Just don't bother if you're a straight white male, because there are far too many going to college!!! The country needs some equity and look at how GREAT its turning out.

 

Not to worry. I'm sure they'll let in a black with a 2.5 GPA, with student loans the dems plan on forgiving. And, that person may be more receptive to the CRT being taught.

 

How do you define "rich school?"

 

I would probably have to see the essay the person submitted before I would attempt to answer the question.

For a lot of schools, the GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and other activities are the first and second steps. What makes or breaks a person's entry are other factors. And yes, all are competitive to get in, which means there is only a number of slots open. We have students who get in on athletic scholarships, legacy admissions, international students, and others. The last group will be the person who is applying for the first time and competing with all the other potential students who have similar backgrounds.

The other reality is a lot of universities use an algorithm on key words and phrases. The more hits, the better chance you will be noticed.

 

Quotas over merit -- a perfect way to destroy a country.

 

And if that algorithm is biased to exclude certain groups?

 

How about we base admissions on merit?

 

I think we all know which schools the rich people go too

 

The "one" I Know got in on some allowance for being
0.5 Mexican American, although even her mother did not
speak Spanish.

After her bachelors, she could afford a 1BRM apartment
in Manhattan.
She met her future husband

Now 2 decades later - all are good

Yep. The moment you start reserving places for the children of wealthy graduates & donors you are creating a ruling class and destroying the very concept of meritocracy. The damage this has done over many generations is difficult to calculate.

I assume that is what you are referring to.

 

yep, that they let a few in each year that are not rich, doesn't mean they are not schools for the rich - one is either rich, or one gets a free ride

 

Affirmative Action = Racism Against Asians

12/16/11 New York Post: Hiding their race
By Rich Lowry
"To check or not to check the Asian box? That's the choice faced by Asian-American students applying to what are supposed to be the most tolerant places on Earth: the nation's colleges"

Ward Connerly, a former University of California regent, explained to the newspaper The Sacramento Bee about what Asians faced trying to get accepted into the state's university system:
In an unguarded moment, [a fellow regent] told me that unless the university took steps to "guide" admissions decisions, UC would be dominated by Asians. When I asked, "What would be wrong with that?" I got an answer that speaks volumes about the underlying philosophy at many universities with regard to Asian enrollment. The UC administrator told me that Asians are "too dull, they study, study, study." He then said, "If you ever say I said this, I will have to deny it." I won't betray the individual's anonymity because to do so would put him in a world of trouble."

 

Nope.

 

The "quotas" are not based on race or ethnicity. They are based on the schools needs and desires. For athletics, that can get the school the advertising its needs to showcase its campus. We see this all the time in football, baseball, and basketball games on ESPN, CBS, ABC, NBC, and such. The legacy students are the students whose parents, grandparents, and other relatives attend the same university, and the more your parents give to the school, the better chance you will get in, kinda like lobbying in politics. The international students have the added requirement of TOEFL but as well provide the international prestige the school is looking for. And international students are willing to pay top dollar, with no help from US federal government, and again, that endowment fund potential. But the whole point is a university or college is more of a business. You can have all the skills in the world, and be really good at it, but it you can't bring the company money, the company is not going to hire you. And neither will colleges or universities.

 

I was referring to any admission to a college or university, if based on something other than merit is wrong, and harmful to our country.
