"Of 35,000 applicants competing for 1,600 spots in the class of 2019, 2,700 had perfect verbal SAT scores; 3,400 had perfect math SAT scores; more than 8,000 had perfect GPAs."

From the facts in the actual case. Now what?[/quote]

and significantly lower stat kids got picked because of their skin color??

Something is terribly worng. [/quote]

Yes, and that something is you. You are terribly wrong. First, your premise is wrong. They aren't picked because of their skin color. It is racist to say so.

Second, lower scores is not a problem at all in admissions, and you could only even suggest that if admissions is required to be based on a forced ranking of these two sets of numbers alone, it isn't; or if there was a limited number of spots in higher education in the United States. There isn't. And the ridiculous reason you think these things are so, is that you have bought into the false notion that colleges are ranked in some order of "best education," which is also ridiculous and false.

All of this controversy starts with USNWR.[/quote]
