[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, but young men have to be very talented to gain admission to the elite universities. It is not the case that these institutions accept A+ young women, and B+ young men. As the mother of Latino, legacy, young men, I am tired of everyone assuming (or accusing) that they were admitted to top schools because they are Latino, or legacy, or young men. They were admitted to fine universities because they worked incredibly hard (A averages, 2300+ SATs, AP courses, athletics, outside honors), and in fact I still bear "stress scars" from their high school years. To assume that young men get into great universities for any reason other than their academic and extracurricular achievements and accomplishments is to diminish them (which society seems to be doing to some extent these days), and that is as ugly a form of reverse discrimination as any other.[/quote]
