[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped reading after the OP mentioned the race and ethnicity of the students going to top 10 colleges.

Why? That’s probably [b]the most pertinent[/b] fact in college admissions these days[/quote]

You know this is not true.[/quote]

DP.     You’re kidding yourself if you think this isn’t true.  The amount of effort and money the elites pour into scouring the country for black and Latino applicants that are even remotely qualified is staggering.  And that’s just the beginning because they pour an equal amount of resources into ensuring they graduate at a rate that is somewhat comparable to the median.   The entire admissions and retention effort is social justice kabuki and nobody has any idea if it makes a difference at all.[/quote]

Racist much?[/quote]

It's obviously the most important thing.

Do you ever notice the articles "Accepted to All Ivy League Schools" - when is that kid ever white?

The number of black kids who score a composite 2350 or above on the SAT is incredibly low - which is why when they are found - they are gold to any admission staff of a prestigious university.

And why is that a surprise? I read recently the number of Detroit Public School kids (think mostly black) who are at or above reading level in 4th grade is 5%.  That's at or above.  By 4th grade 95% are behind.

It's another reason why the "Accepted at All Ivy League" black kid is usually a kid of recent (one or two generation back) immigrants from Africa.[/quote]
