You've gotta be kidding.  The first cut is race and gender.  Even very high grades and test scores won't get applicants belonging to certain groups into a selective school.[/quote]
 
Y[b]es but hopefully the lawsuit against Harvard will end their despicable bias against Asians.[/quote]

Don't make it about the asians....it's about the process and inherent bias.  30 years ago it was the jews, today it is the asians, tomorrow it could be any minority group that is outperforming their quota.  [/quote][/b]

But the lawsuit may result in Harvard being 70% or more ASian American like TJ.  If you want that, then fine ..........[/quote]

[b]I see we’ve found the racist imbecile on the thread[/quote][/b]

The Asian Americans as have significantly higher scores per capita than the other applicants.  Same with the Jews who were cut out of harvard and the law school in the late 50s and early 60s.  That was done away with so by the time I made it to Harvard my law school class was predominantly Jewish.  The lawsuit is about AAs who have higher GPAs and stats than other applicants but are routinely cut out.  The class action has demonstrated that the AAs applicants are marked down in character by the readers ("boring") whether intentional or not, conscious or not, and that their scores and GPA are higher per capita than others who were admitted.  If Harvard wins at the trial level, which it will because it's an Obama appointee hearing it, then it will be appealed to the first circuit where it will be affirmed because ithe first circuit is the same, and then to SCOTUS where it will be reversed.  The result will be far more Asian Americans in each class, just as at TJ right now, than before.  And fewer URMs, WASPs, first generation, international, low-income, questbridge, etc.  There are only a finite no. of seats.  Read up on the case please.[/quote]
