[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Harvard met many students with high test scores and high school GPAs. [b]Many of them added absolutely nothing to the overall educational and social experience of the incoming class.[/b] I love that Harvard is looking at the "whole student" when making admissions decisions.[/quote]

There ya go! This is exactly why Harvard should win this lawsuit. It's their job to predict which students, based on their entire record and accomplishments, will contribute the most to to the college's overall educational mission. [/quote]

Do you think that there are many Asian families that feel that since "certain" high schools are mostly Asian (TJ as an example) - that those same parents believe colleges should be run the same way? Because most white people don't have a chance at (again, just an example) the TJ type high schools.  If that is the case, TJ admissions of Asians will decrease, won't it?  That is, if it were ruled that not enough Asians are admitted to Harvard, couldn't it also be ruled that not enough white kids are admitted to the TJ type high schools?  Anyone?

It seems like challenging Harvard would be a really bad move. [/quote]
