[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many Asians have very good parents who care for them, school is important, they are given tutors, time to study parental help, have their own bedrooms and two parent families. Often parents have less kids to devote more resources to each kid. Now let's take non-Asian kid from Projects. Six kids two bedroom apartment, no Dad, sleeps on floor, has to hustle to survive and is in dangerous neighborhood and terrible school. Am I to believe we just pick higher GPA and SAT of two students and not consider adversity? Hardly seems fair[/quote] If the non-Asian kid met the minimum cutoff for GPA/SAT, I'd choose him/her every day of the week. Hopefully I'd be able to choose both as they are both deserving of admission. However, If there were 10 spots available and I had 10 of the first example and only 1 of the second, then one of the first kids (Asian) would have to be rejected.[/quote]
