[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It works just like affirmative action but it's for boys. [/quote] Not exactly. The boys are compared against other boys for acceptance. That is not what affirmation action is. If it a coed school you need to have about 50 percent boys for a positive experience for all students who are choosing a coed school. Hopefully it will be a diverse coed group, but males are a must.[/quote] I know an impressive african-american student who was rejected from every highly selective college they applied to. [/quote] There are a lot of impressive AA students in this world who apply to college. What is your point? Were they a girl?[/quote] The prior poster said the "Boy Boost" is not like affirmative action, because "boys compete against boys." My point was that even when quotas are in place, admission to the most sought after colleges is highly competitive and selective even for the most in-demand groups. That doesn't mean there's not a slight advantage to belonging to an underrepresented group. [/quote]
