[quote=Anonymous][quote]There are [b]easily 3000 white and Asian students across the country who are better than 250 of the 300 black students[/b] at Harvard and deserve a spot over them[/quote]

[quote]On what basis?

Grade inflation? SAT/ACT prep with more than a dozen bites at the exam? admission consultants?

Did these 3000 folk you identified even apply to Harvard?[/quote]

Right...I wonder if all these beneficiaries of grade inflation,test prep ad nauseum and private school admissions tutors and consultants make any important contributions to society and mankind over their life span?  I bet if we had the data you will discover the real gems and movers and shakers over a life time do not come from this doted upon and entitled cohort!

This is the argument for not basing admission decisions or job hiring solely on the basis of a grade point average or super scored SAT or ACT report.  I would submit that drive, passion, empathy, leadership and character play a far more important role.  These qualities are [b]not[/b] measured by grade inflated GPAs and SAT/ACT scores alone!!  You can take that to the bank.[/quote]
