[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why some form of affirmative action is needed at least based on SES.[/quote] My sister and I are first-generation American and Latina. We attended an affluent suburban Catholic high school because my father, an engineer, wanted us to have a good education. My sister earned a 1500 on her SAT and had only A+s on her transcript (back in the 80s). No one in the counseling office (back in the Midwest) suggested that she apply to a reach, much less an Ivy, so she happily attended a regional Catholic college instead. She was accepts to Yale medical school, and is now very well off. We were not socio-economically poor, more solidly upper-middle class. And yet no one ever suggested that my Latina sister should reach for the Ivies in college. It is not just an economic thing, it remains a race and ethnicity issue as well (Sterling?).[/quote]
