[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Excelling at a national level in an extraordinary way (holding patents, being published in a prestigious academic journal, having a meaningful book published, Intel, Siemens finalists, IMO member etc. which serves as a hook) can obviously help overcome 2,100 SAT score with not so spectacular GPA but not many kids have these achievements. Whereas URM will not need these kinds of recognitions to overcome 2,100 score.[/quote] Not sure where you're pulling your latest "stat" about how more URMs are supposedly benefitting from affirmative action than white kids are benefitting from holistic admission. However, Golden's book, The Price of Admission, makes a solid case that sports and legacy preferences are effectively affirmative action for rich white kids. And that more rich white kids benefit from these than URMs benefit from AA.[/quote]
