[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Jewish person really liked this new book. Too many echoes of the way Jews were treated in Ivy admissions in the first half of the 20th century in the way Asians are being treated now. If low SES AA applicants/Banneker grads can score in the 500s-600s on SATs and get admitted, low SES Asian-Americans should be able to as well. Better yet, everybody scores high to be admitted or SAT become optional universally as suggested above.

This. And I'm an African-American parent who is offended that less is expected of my children simply on account of their race.  If "holistic" admissions is a thing, it needs to be "holistic" for everyone, not just hard-working low-SES black kids, deserving and as full-of-potential as they may be.

+1000. We need universal holistic admissions in this country to keep our Jeffersonian Democracy afloat. Lackluster standardized test scores that only work for minorities and specially recruited applicants in elite college admissions need to go.[/quote]
