[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if it's any consolation, it's also been a brutal year for all those poor and minority students.  I work for an org that helps low-income students attend college-most of our students are black or latino.  We've been hearing from various admissions offices that there is a huge pool this year, and while many of our students would have been likely admits if they could pay, schools don't want to spend a huge amount of aid on one student with a $0 EFC when they could spread that money around and give several students a decent amount of aid.  It's tough out there.[/quote]

Yes, I've heard that as well. I'm just not a believer in affirmative action. I think it is unconstitutional. [/quote]

But legacy is constitutional?  Even if you couldn't have legacy b/c your parents would not have been able to attend b/c the school did not allow minority students at the time?  This was my story.[/quote]

There is a difference between race discrimination and legacy admissions. The first is covered in the Constitution, while the second is not. You can feel free to suggest an amendment to the Constitution to cover this subject. The Constitution was amended because of situations like yours.

I think you are confusing law with what you desire. And it sounds a bit like you'd like revenge as opposed to equality.[/quote]
