[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blacks have lower sat scores, tend to major in easier majors in college, have lower grades than whites/Asians and have lower graduation rates.

Maybe there is a correlation between sat scores and success in college.[/quote]

Again, that is so topical.  The question is why.  Most are first time college students.  Where do they get guidance.  I didn't get any.  Why are there grades lower.  As I stated before, Kavitha Cardoza did a great series on NPR and found some enlightening information on why this happens.  In addition, the Posse Foundation has also studied this.  It has nothing to do with intelligence.

All I know is that I got a 900 on the SAT (out of 1600), graduated from high school with a 2.73.  [b]Graduated from college with a 3.5[/b], [b]law school top 5% [/b]of my class (top tier school) and passed 2 bars on the first try.  Boy those SAT scores really dictated my future.

I'm not going back and forth since you already like your narrative.  Go with it.[/quote]

Perhaps you went to mid-tier college and majored in sociology/psychology or ethnic studies. Maybe you attended "top tier" meaning top 100 law school.[/quote]

Top 25 law school and my B.A. is in Economics.  Boom![/quote]
