[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This case is going nowhere. Those stats are run of the mill at those schools, regardless of ethnicity. [/quote]

I doubt more than 5% high school grads earn these stats. [/quote]

Do you realize how many kids that 5% is?

More than 17,000 kids are in the top 1% of SAT scores alone. Harvard only admitted 2,318 applicants. So even if being in the top 1% were their sole criteria (and in fact it appears that 90% of admitted students were), more than 14,000 kids in the top 1% would be (and were) rejected.[/quote]

Around 2000 x t20 = 40,000
They(top 1%) should at least get in a T20 school.[/quote]

So you believe the only criterion for admission to a T20 school should be the SAT?[/quote]

Most of these kids also have high gpa and rigor as well as good ECs, essay, leadership, interview, etc.

It's not a common case to have only supirior SAT.  Didn't you see the Harvard data?

They know all the criterion involved, and prepared.

[b]That's why Harvard had to introduce courage/kindness/likability score.[/b]

Google it for further information.

um...no, they introduced those "soft" metrics as a way to discriminate against Jews. Google it for further information.[/quote]
