[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year an Asian-American boy who was a USAMO camper was rejected by not only MIT but also CMU.  Most DCUMs don’t know what USAMO camp is.  It’s a pool of 250-300 best math students in the US competing for a spot on the USA Math Olympic Team.  There are only 6 students on the national team. Then they compete against other countries in the Intl Math Olympiad.  In the past, making USAMO cam was a guaranteed ticket to MIT.  Not anymore.  Especially if you are an Asian boy. [/quote]

No student is owed admission to any college, regardless of their accomplishments.[/quote]

Trying to make sure no student is discriminated.

Literally every student faces discrimination. That’s what making choices means.

Every applicant who is rejected has been discriminated against.

And that’s OK.[/quote]

There's huge difference between fair competition and discrimination.
Fair competition is great.
Discrimination is evil.

Discrimination is just a different word for making a choice. It is not “evil.”

It’s so clear you don’t understand the word’s definition.[/quote]

It' so clear you are dumb.
