[quote=Anonymous]Look, some of what you are saying does not make sense to me.  The topic is this lawsuit and Asian Americans in Ivy league schools.  These schools are free admit whom they will.  No matter how angry this makes people, its a fact.

The commenters are speaking about differentiation.  If a admissions officers sees several children with roughly the same grades/test scores from the same school with roughly the same academic and extra curricular activities, they will likely not all get in, regardless of their racial/ethnic background.

This level of competitiveness is unlikely to change.  It is about adjusting to this new world.  Litigation will only get you so far.  With a 5 percent acceptance rates, colleges can justify any legal policy.  This is the same world that faces all groups.  Continuing to stick with the position that the highest test scores should win has not carried the day.  The new world is where everyone has difficulties getting into elites.  Everyone with a college age child should look beyond to top few schools when applying to find a school that they like.  Instead of focusing exclusively on Ivys and being devastated when they don't work out.
