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]

I want kids judged by their character and skills, not their skin color.[/quote]

Then it was overtime deflate the value of the degree.  Harvard will be highly motivated to adopt another system that allows it to continue its mission to accept a class composed of kids Harvard believes will be representative leaders across the spectrum.  It has no interest in only having the highest GPA and test score and having on small minority dominate the school.  It also does not want to be like TJ that has a huge underbelly of poorly performing/unhappy kids that end up at mediocre colleges.  Harvard does not want 50% of its graduates excluded from top jobs and professional schools.  The above described would seriously change the H undergraduate experience and decrease the benefits of attending.  [/quote]
