[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a white person with both white kids and asian kids. I do not think my asian kids raised in the same house should have to score 300 points higher on the SAT for the same shot at admissions to my alma mater (Harvard). That is pure racism and I will never vote democrat again after seeing how they support this. [/quote]

Yeah.. having to score 300 points more than a rich white lax bro for the same shot is a travesty.

Your grievances are misguided.

The truth is that legacy admissions are the real issue.

If your kid can't get into Harvard with that advantage (assuming all of the high dollar test prep and cushy tutoring worked), then sorry.[/quote]
You can have more than one real issue: legacies, Asian Americans, athletes, etc. They are all problematic.[/quote]

Actually measuring someone by test scores is the real problem.

We don’t want just people good at tests in colleges.

Give me athletes, artists and legacies over test scores any day

Give me a high-scoring tax atty on the LSAT or high-scoring interventional radiologist on the MCAT any day

[/quote]

Nope, the higher the worse. There should be a minimum but there is a deminishing rate of return once you get too high.[/quote]
