[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I read somewhere that at Brown U., if you take out all the spots for legacies, donors, athletes, international students, that leaves something like 10% of the spots open for the general public.[/quote] What you say only makes sense if you add underrepresented minorities to that list and the general public = unhooked white/asians. But it is the case for all the top colleges the student body is heavily engineered to achieve a certain demographic breakdown. There are winners and losers. [/quote] +1 White does not equal "general public." A little over 50% of American children are non-white. 55% of high school students play sports. The outliers are students who whites and non-athletes[/quote]
