[quote=Anonymous]It all comes down to $$$$$. Legacy admission is about $ and donation from alumni. Ability for a kid to get into Ivy is many times base on the privilege of the family. If the family has $$, it doesn't matter what color they are, they will have a better chance with private schools, private tutors, and private counselor........ Asians tend to have a higher representation in elite schools due to a cultural emphasis on academics AND that Asians have the highest average income among all groups BUT that is all just stereotyping the group. The same can be said for other groups that raise their kids with high academic goals and the $ to fulfill those goals. Colleges should base the decision on the "family privilege" rather than skin color. This would allow poor whites (yes, there are more whites below the poverty line than other races) as well as other poor minorities to be judged on their achievement with limited $ privilege. [/quote]
