[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhat surprisingly, my black daughter with a 4.0 and 35 ACT (one sitting) didn't get into Berkeley OOS for engineering, albeit the ACT score wasn't submitted.

They stopped practising AA years ago.[/quote]

[b]Shouldn't matter for those stats, right?[/quote][/b] One would think but you will always have racist a$$holes who still just assume every black kid on these campuses are there because of affirmative action. [b] Yet all the other kids who get a boost (athletes, faculty kids, donor kids, etc.) don't have the joy of experiencing such BS[/b]...[/quote]
dp..  they don't experience the side eye because you can't see who's a donor or faculty kid.  But, you can see the skin color of a person without knowing their background.

It's not fair, I agree, but that's what happens when colleges play the DEI game.[/quote]

Or when racist people make false assumptions.[/quote]
everyone knows that colleges play the DEI game.  The Harvard lawsuit even showed how prejudiced they are towards Asian Americans.[/quote]

No, it didn't.  It just showed how politicized the SC is. URMs are under represented at T20 universities. [/quote]

FOR 50 years colleges have been bending over backwards, cooking the books, winking & nodding, & pretending [b]there is no difference between a 1500 and a 1350 SAT [/b]to get more URMs. If they are underrepresented it’s not due to lack of effort from the colleges. [/quote]

There isn't really a big difference.[/quote]And how many times did they take said test since 9th grade? Dare I ask if they actually took it ;looking at you varsity blues).[/quote]
