[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is a bit of a fixation on perfect scores being the sole criteria.  Then there is a reference to low scoring African Americans, as if they are the sole reason.  Again, I hear and see a lot of misdirected racial animus and I will keep calling the poster out.

If a African American or White is admitted with 1400-1500 SAT scores and great grades, and other achievements, yes these individuals are often admitted ahead of Asians with 1600 SAT scores and 20 APs.  The reasons for this is that most of these "lower scoring" individuals matriculate successfully from these environments as they are smart enough to succeed there, even without "perfect scores."  In addition, the institutions have deemed a diverse class is preferable.  Diverse in terms of race, gender, ethnicity, geographic, education and interests.  I know a very smart girl who was admitted to Ivy League schools who is an amazing track and field athlete.  Another boy I know is a brilliant artist.  Both are great students but do not have "perfect scores."[/quote]

The whole argument boils down to this. Asian entitlement. [/quote]
