[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all in favor of some kind of affirmative action for low SES kids. That will necessarily pick up a lot of racial minority kids. But I fail to see why the kid of a successful African-American doctor or lawyer should get an admission preference based on race, when they have had a more advantageous start in life than the first-generation college applicant from a blue collar background in Kentucky who happens to be white.[/quote] +1. based on SES not race. [/quote] If you based it on SES vs. race it would drastically lower the number of AA and Hispanic students at top universities. The children of the poorest white and Asian families score the same on the SAT as the children of the most affluent AA families.[/quote]
