[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Not sure why people think that the post was racist. I am giving objective detailed data on the students accepted because otherwise stats mean very little. Also, these kids are not "academic drones". Many are accomplished kids with good EC's and participate in many real community service projects.

I am just saying that none of that seems to have helped them get into a top 20 school. Use the information as you will.

And btw, many universities like Brown have actually said they are trying to recruit more kids from Texas. [b]I guess they are looking for a "different profile" than these kids. [/b]

Of course. You don't think anyone really wants your typical UMC white kids, do you? This is known.[/quote]

there is another thread on this board about 2019 Whitman admits - 5% of the class is going to Ivy and even higher to top 25 schools.  Whitman is 67% white and less than 10% black or Hispanic.   UMC white kids are getting in.

Now if you argue they're athletes and legacies, then you should complain about that.

If you don't believe they are athletes and legacies, then UMC whites should admit that they problem is with their kid not the system (and little bit themselves since they're not legacies).

Nothing more irritating that UMC white people complaining they suffer from discrimination.  Get a life.[/quote]
