[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they shouldn't even ask for race on the application. And if you can tell race by the first or last name, maybe that should be left anonymous as well. [/quote]Interesting concept.  How would you feel if individuals using ID numbers only resulted in ONE ethnic group known for extensive test preparation becomes 95% of every top  20 college?  Your snowflake would be excluded with their paltry SAT 2200.  All hell would break loose, and you know this.[/quote]

Shouldn't you prepare for test?
Why someone should be punished for "extensive" test preparation while some other one should be rewarded by simply in the "correct" race and not work on "extensive" test preparation. You don't need to pay anything to prepare, just go to the library and there are books to help you prepare.[/quote]

+1. Who didn't prepare for the SATs?

Any maybe as a society we might want the best and the brightest at our top colleges. Those are our future leaders, surgeons and mathematicians. Do we really want our top colleges dumbed down so that kids who didn't prep can get in? [/quote]Huh?? You think HYP is taking dumbed down students regardless whether affirmative action or not?  A prep does NOT guarantee you're getting a 2400.

There are students getting into HYP with 2000s SAT with high and perfect grade point averages from ALL ethnic groups. (throw in good ECs). [/quote]
