[quote=Anonymous]The Brown AD lied...sort of. Truth is that both students are put in different categories and yes one of these categories is race. If you're a white kid from a private school 2100 SATS scores won't get you into the Ivy League. A lower grade from NCS especially when accompanied by higher SAT scores and high scores on AP exams is given more weight. However, colleges do indeed have quotas. Imagine if a school just used raw numbers? So when you say "Just as well" be careful. Let me ask you. You get a student from a private school with a 3.1(unweighted) with SAT scores of 2100 and a student from a public school with a 4.179 (they weight) with an SAT of 1700 and what would you assume? SAT was designed to make sure schools were meritocracies. We don't like what it tells us so we kill the messenger. [/quote]
