[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what we foreigners have been saying for years, OP. In the rest of the world, there is a formula, or at least much more of one than here. You have the grades, you get in, is what it essentially boils down to.

Here admissions committees are allowed to be racist, discriminatory, and they openly favor children of alumni, children of billionaire donors, and children with no particular academic strength who happen to be good at sports.

It's disgusting, and yet, the brain-washed American people continue to believe it's a great "holistic" system and they beggar themselves or their children to get in, instead of voting for politicians who might make university low-cost, like in other developed countries.

You have this backward.  Kind of completely.  Holistic allows in more URMs.  A numbers game and the school would be 100% Asian and White.  That is the racist system.  As for the other things you mention -- if you think kids of the rich and powerful are not getting into European Universities because they tested low or had low grades you are crazy.  [/quote]

So ignorant and offensive to claim not a single URM can get into UVA without a preferential treatment. Anyway,  it should be up to Virginia voters to decide if they want their public universities to discriminate on any basis other than academic achievement. [/quote]

Possibly offensive to you but certainly not ignorant.  All numbers based.  [/quote]
