[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think with the varsity blues scandal and the Harvard sat stats per race that were released, a lot of the general public is starting to realize that ivies don’t have the best and brightest, but a lot of “hooked” kids.[/quote]

Yale has had hooked kids for a long time, like other Ivies, but it's the academic qualifications of the unhooked kids that has taken a nose dive over the past 20 years.

There was a period when the Ivies embraced the idea of a meritocracy, and the best and the brightest both gravitated towards and typically ended up at Ivies.  Then Yale and its peers pivoted towards promoting diversity over merit.  [/quote]

You are nuts.  These kids are intimidating.  Half of them could probably go directly into impressive jobs tomorrow and do well.[/quote]

Yes, the kids who attended 20 years go were intimidating. Definitely not so today.[/quote]

LOL 20 years ago they were your peers or close to it. Now theyre just kids.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? I went to Yale 20+ years ago and I don't think I would get in today. [b]Acceptance rates are way down[/b]. [/quote]

For whites and Asians.

Way up for blacks.[/quote]

My apologies, need to correct the above.

Way down for: Unhooked whites and Asians.

Way up for: Blacks and athletes.[/quote]

Source?[/quote]

University data.

Can do some research dimwit?[/quote]

Why don’t you link it so we can see it? I’d be curious to see admit data broken out along those lines.

It’s called the Harvard lawsuit before scotus[/quote]
