US Supreme Court Rules Against Affirmative Action in College Admissions

[Anonymous]

Now that the Asian world thinks that with this ruling they are going to definitely get into Harvard's 2000 spots next year, there is going to be a run on test preps and trying to bump GPAs.

How many years will it take for Nothing to change for to drop this and move onto being a victim of something else.

I cannot wait to see the results next year.

Then, they can go home and use it against the U.S.

Good idea, no?

As an Asian American, I'm all for limiting and carefully screening international students.

HAHAHAHAHA okay. I believe that.

NP. Why the sarcasm? This thread is so gross and racist and the whole thing deserves to be deleted.

Fixed that for you.

I never understand just picking on test.

You can bump up GPA with tutoring.
You can spend $$$ for fancy ECs, research activity, private coaches
You can hire professional writerse for essays

In fact, again and agan Aisans had higher scores on almost all factors including ECs, leadership, interview, etc.

Asians get more tutoring than anyone, so your point is lost.

yes they care and value educaiton. they spend more money on education than Nike sneakers, so what??

Tony Hsieh (Taiwanese) made nearly one billion dollars selling Nike sneakers.

Maybe chill a little on the mud flinging and aspersions, okay?

AND RACISM, TOO.

Our people suck, our schools suck - maybe tell us what else? You just like our colleges?

what do you mean by our colleges? we are not talking about international students here.
that's totally differenct topic.

Read the PP's, and how stupid they think whites and U.S. colleges are. That is all this is.

Asian Americans can criticize any parts of the systems in this country whether it's health care system, education system, etc.

And they do! Why stay here if it is so terrible? Why would you want to educate your child here, if it is so terrible?

Serious question.

It is just sad that a race of people has this one meaningless thing affect your character the way this thread is evolving. Most students don't even apply and when a lot that do get declined they walk away and are happy that they did get accepted to Duke, Yale, MIT, etc. To be so angry that luck was not on your side. To put all of this pressure on your kids. I understand wanting rules and cut-offs, but with this there are none. It's a lottery.

i am Black and I am so so glad this has changed. Nothing is going to change and then everyone can go back to realizing that the school will still decline 96% of applicants. Harvard wants a diverse school. Having 8000 students of the same race, over-achievement spirit, anti-black prejidice, etc is not what Harvard wants or what they will end up being. They will still have students that are athletes, a range of GPAs, a range of Scores, various races, etc. They have a consistent 98% graduation rate and has the US all worked up. They must be doing something great already.

Yeah, but now the U.S. knows how Asians feel about the U.S., so that is not in the Asians favor. They screwed themselves.

Asian-Americans are not allowed to criticize anything, speak up, discuss discrimination, bring lawsuits, etc? These are fundamentally American freedoms like free speech.

Hsieh was super smart and driven. Went to Harvard. Started multiple companies and "made it." Really, really made it.

Ended up addicted to drugs and burned to death in a shed.

The American Dream from start to finish. I still feel bad for his family.

Unbelievable. Asians actually think they are the superior race. Remind you of anyone??

How do you say HITLER is Chinese?

Looks like you are new to this. Welcome.
This fact was revealed during the case.
It was part of the reasons for the case because this is a clear indication of Asian kids discriminated.
They didn't just score well on GPA and Test as you can see.

I don't see how you say Hitler in Chinese?

You don't seem to be properly educated.
Care more about education

Some folks seem very angry by the decision.

Maybe URM parents of current junors.

Again it's not race.
It's culture of caring more about education.

Why can’t we all just get along? Just add an another 8 hours on to the school day and that should even things out a bit. Then only about 10 hours left to eat and sleep. Oh, and no days off no summer off for kids.

Questbridge matches from deepest Appalachia are about to make up 30 percent of Harvard's incoming class. Sorry, magnet-school strivers who have mastered competition math and racquet sports. But thank you for being used.

Harship from the racism LMFAO

AOs will get sick and tired of reading about it LMAO

It’s really sad. Kids shouldn’t have to expose their pain in an essay.

That is what the essay is for. To help the AOs get to "know" your kid and what they can bring to the school.....HOLISTIC!!

But not exposing pain. Just one sentence in one essay is enough "The reason I made a A- in that one class is because my parents let me be a well rounded kid and allowed me to play team sports, hang out some weekends, go to movies, etc... instead of studying all the time under extreme academic pressure like my Asian friends (who told me what their parents say about people of my race)."
