[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ALL preferences need to go. Legacies. Dumb kids of professors. Dumb white kids with their athletic preference.[/quote] But in all honesty how are these schools supposed to whittle down the admits from the large numbers that apply? Fact is that the college process, even grades and test scores, is very subjective. So much of it depends on who is reviewing your application, when are they looking at your application, have they seen other students with a similar profile in that same day? Nothing in the college process is objective, so really why bother exclude legacies, athletes, and affirmative action as criteria? Removing them won't make the process objective.[/quote] Nothing is perfect. But removing preferences for legacies, professors’ kids, and at least some athletes who game the system would be a start.[/quote] Inconsequential imo.[/quote]
