[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was no way Harvard was going to let the university be majority Asian so they made up random barriers like extracurricular activities to block more Asians from being accepted. [b]Having good grades wasn’t enough.

Instead of admitting that Ivy Leagues simply do not want more Asians (for whatever reason). Some Asians started blaming black and latino people for “taking their spot”.

Having good grades has never been enough. That is what the people litigating this action never seem to understand. It is the role of the admissions offices to put together a class of talented individuals across different disciplines, interests, perspectives and personalities. They also need people to fill out music, theater, athletics, research and other pursuits. There are  TENS OF THOUSANDS of kids who can manage the work who apply but only a handful gain admission. But the idea that the admissions should be based solely on scores and grades in a vacuum is ignorant, lazy and misguided.[/quote]
