[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This case is going nowhere. Those stats are run of the mill at those schools, regardless of ethnicity. [/quote]

However 1450 kids get accepted with certain skin color or rich parents over 1590 kid because....  courage, kindness, and likability?

And that's OK. Really. It is. Stop viewing elite college as some brass ring that can only be obtained by students with the very best stats. Especially when Georgia Tech is pretty elite.[/quote]

No, it's not OK.  
You can view elite colleges however you like.
Don't force your view upon others.
We need transparent and fair system.

No we don’t. Elite college is not some public good to which you are entitled an equal shot of attending.[/quote]

Then I don't want a dime of my tax dollar to go to those institutions if they discriminate and are not transparent

Well I can say I don't want my tax dollars going for roads in Alabama, yet they do (for example).  I don't get to select everything my tax dollars are used for.  I pay them for the good of society.  
FYI---majority of the "elite institutions" you are scrambling to get into are private institutions, so they can do whatever the hell they want for admissions.  State schools have to abide a bit more by their states rules/regulations.  And finally, schools picking anyone over your kid does NOT mean they are discriminating----they are saying "NO" to almost 95% of those who apply, so it's not discrimination if everyone is largely getting told NO.  You just do not like that your kid is not at an elite school.
