You will continue to feel the way you have decided to feel.  The data says otherwise, but you still feel the same.

The data most certainly do not show otherwise--but feel free to enlighten us with your "worldview."[/quote]

MIT is just one university.  Like CalTech it has had more merit based admissions and not had legacy preferences.  It's not true for the Ivies.[/quote]

This is an example of my point.  If one is cynical, they are cynical.  That's all I was saying.  Doesn't matter if a population over-indexes, or a school says it does or doesn't do something.  The belief has been decided and the data will be rationalized to support that belief.  Anything that doesn't line up to that pre-determined belief will be questioned, dismissed as an exception, or believed to be a lie[/quote]
