[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the ivies and other top colleges they look for top URM students because they want a variety of students with different experiences. Being Black and middle class is different than being white or Hispanic and middle class. Just like being white and poor is different than being white and wealthy. So I don't get why people are so resentful of black middle class students getting a leg up on admissions. There are relatively few of these kids with the skills to do well at ivies. Just look at the gap in SAT or ACT scores between races even when equalized for income. Again, admissions at top schools is about assembling a class of diverse individuals based on reviews of the students' whole body of work. [b]No body[/b] is taking anyone's spot. There are no reserved seats. [/quote] Hopefully they are admitting only live students.[/quote]
