[quote=Anonymous]Devil's advocate here. Um, isn't the reason we have affirmative action to give minority kids with, presumably, fewer economic or social opportunities, an opportunity to go to great schools. No one is saying this kids isn't qualified (at least I don't really see that here - apart from those accusing them of it). If his "story" "background" etc. impacted his acceptance, I say hooray! That means the system is working. And, yes, if a kid is great at sports, I assume that helps him to be admitted. If a kid's last name is on a building, I assume that helps him to be admitted. Isn't this all a well-understood part of the admissions game? Own it and be proud.[/quote]
