[quote=Anonymous]Do you think schools should be compelled to make up their classes based on some sort of formula using only academic test scores? Harvard (and everyone else) is trying to come up with some sort of ideal class composition that happens along multiple axes (race being one but far from the only). They have a secret sauce that they protect so that if you are offered admission, your peers and experience will give you the exposure they want for you in your four years. So they want kids they identify as “smart” or “going to make an impact” in some way other than only using GPAs and test scores. This is why this idea of “taking someone else’s spot” is so bizarre. Even if they didn’t take the black kid, they wouldn’t want your kid with the higher stats because nothing distinguishes them from the other members of the class. [/quote]
