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.  [b]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.  [/b]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]

This.  I literally had parents say that their kids would have a hard time getting into a university they were admitted to because of their race/gender even though the state had passed a law decades ago that race/gender could not be used in the public college admissions.  This convinced me that people will believe what they want to believe.[/quote]
