[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Simply put, w/o being black, he would not have gotten into 8 Ivies...maybe 2...Cornell and Brown.[/quote] Data/evidence? [/quote] This is not data, but I have a (white female) friend who grew up in a remote part of the country and has an interesting family story. If I recall she also ran the table with the Ivy League schools, although I'm not sure she applied to Cornell. She was a true academic prodigy growing up; she also was a genuinely interesting and quirky person. She went on to become a star student at the university she picked and a big success as an adult. I think the lesson here is that for all the straight A kids with great scores, there aren't a ton of teenagers (which is what these applicants are) who present as a complete package. So when they come along, schools scoop them up. And thank god for that.[/quote]
