[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But no reputable US university is transparent and admits on merit alone! Then all schools would have the same ranked accepted list. Each kid can only select one school.

Why is this all about Harvard? I don’t get it. If everyone hates Harvard, then why do you want your kid to attend? What story do you want to tell. “They were forced to accept us LOL”.

There are 3000 universities. These conversations are like a scorned woman Who only wants the guy who doesn’t want them. Pitiful and embarrassing!

Is the goal for schools to be all Asian? Let’s say we get what we asking for…. Most top kids aren’t going to attend a school that has changed what made it elite over the past 100+ years. Companies aren’t going to hire from a school if they only admit based on grades/race. And these top schools won’t  have alumni athletes, presidents, CEOs, etc.

Harvards admit rate is so low because so many with a glimmer of hope throw their name in the hat…. Like playing the lottery with no real expectation to win. If they only admit 1600 SAT scores and 4.0 unweighted Gpa then only those students would  even apply. Is the goal for Harvard to have a near 100% acceptance rate? Then the UNCs and UVAs won’t accept tip-top kids because they’ll assume they all got accepted/will attend T10 schools. Oh But then we’ll just sue UVA!

Alumni, legacy, admit rate….. This is the brand. why do we even want to Go to a school whose brand would be diluted?

But that’s not going to happen. Sorry! College admissions are changing, race is changing; race was created to separate us. It was created to discriminate - one day everyone will be mixed. Maybe except for my Asian friends who are the ones so stuck on race and education.

They picked one worst example from the high profile privates and also one from the state flagship.
The Supreme court decision will apply to every college.

There's no perfect system, but the goal is to have a more clear, fair, transparent, non-discriminatory system which is good for the health of the society and the nation.
Again nobody said only admit 1600 SAT scores and 4.0 unweighted Gpa.
Why do you still say this? Look at the data again, Asians are better in ECs, Leadership, interview, etc. all around.   
Use holistic, use TO, just make the game of the rule more clear and fair.

If colleges want to do whatever they want to do, give up all the tax benefits, local, state, federal assistance.

CalTech has well over 40% Asian? its brand is top notch.  
I'm not sure what you are trying to say from the last sentence, but yes using race is so outdated.  [/quote]
