Thats the trick, what do you quantify as academically qualified? I went to a college prep school, were my B's equal to the B's of the terrible public school around the corner, what about in reference to better prep schools? Other better public schools?Anyways. Back to the issue. Putting less academically qualified students up against more academically qualified students seems not fair to either side. It’s not like community college or state schools are trash. I don’t get this need of forced liberalism into these top tier schools.
Main question - do these affirmative action laws we have apply to any college (private or public)? What exactly (simply) is affirmative action within the college system?
This is a grey area, and I agree that schools should use wholistic approaches to applicants. Schools have more and more foreign students that pay premium rates, and score high on admission tests. Should they be able to pull all of their students from foreign countries? No? How much is too much?......
This is turning into a broad discussion but all it comes down to is one student salty they didn't get into one school. What kills me is in these cases the student always gets into 5 other top schools, but they just can't go down without a fight.
