Nothing in elite private college admissions is "fair."

They are the "sellers" here and will pick whomever they want to shape a class.[/quote]

At lot of Asians come from countries where test scores are the determining factor for state college admission (in some countries private universities is a very new thing). It is all they know. [b]Study hard, get good grades and test scores so you can hopefully get into a good state university.  It is why some can't understand why the same process does not work, and will never work, in the U.S.[/b]  Private institutions will always find a way to gerrymander the applicants to get the desired mix of students.
Most people who say this mean they want a way to game admissions in their favor. The last thing they want is a fair process.[/quote]

For about the millionth time on this thread, this isn't about the Asian American applicants who just had good grades/SATs. They were ranked very highly on ECs, recommendations, interviewers, etc as well.

This trope of Asians focused on grades is a red herring at this point.[/quote]
It's the only thing they can use to support race conscious admissions.[/quote][/quote]

Well, you all seem to be so focused on the test scores of "unqualified" black students that it would seem that those scores are the only criteria that matters.[/quote]
