[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for not blaming the URM boogeyman like most of the grievance-,filled DCUM posters do when their DC doesn't get admitted to his/ her college of choice.[/quote] God damn it. Some of you act like admissions standards aren't quantifiably lower for URMs and first gens. The data is readily available: they are. And each of those acceptances means one fewer acceptance for students -- many of them sons and daughters of people who post here -- not in favored demographic groups but with much higher stats. It's bull crap. And just to preempt the response I'm sure is coming, yes, legacies have gotten the same favorable treatment for many years. That's bull crap too.[/quote] +1. The stats are out there. Harvard and UNC have to defend the practice of URM preference admissions due, precisely to the fact the qualifications are not the same. [/quote]
