[quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with you PP, but two points: This does not apply to Avery, however: 1) In the 1970s (probably when some of these ignorant posters went to college) black students were done a terrible disservice by Ivies and did frequently fail because they weren't well prepared. 2) Today top colleges have summer minority programs to help catch up minorities, Puerto Ricans, and students from rural areas (I knew one Iowan and one from Maine). So, unfortunately, some people may interpret the top college minority prep programs as the idea that minorities don't come prepared. Rather than seeing the programs as a investment in students' success.[/quote]
