[quote=Anonymous]You'd be surprised.  There are Banneker graduates with SATs in the low 500s going to "competitive" college, those admitting less than half the applicants, due to affirmative action.  There are also many Banneker grads with SATs in the high 500s and low 600s getting into colleges where Asian applicants who are at about the same place on the socioeconomic spectrum (low SES) need SATs in the 700s to be admitted.

All things considered, I'm hoping that the Supreme Court will knock back heavy-handed consideration of race in college admissions with a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs in an appeal of the NC Chapel Hill ruling in the spring.  The architects of affirmative action in the CRM didn't consider the arrangement to be a permanent solution.  Perhaps the time has come for the rest of the states to copy Michigan and California in ditching affirmative action in higher education in favor of shifting vast resources into preparing low-income minority students to compete with whites and Asians in college, vs. getting a pass to be admitted with inferior preparation.
