Check out the problem of "mismatching".
Dr. Sowell has been all over this for years. He did a comparison of "Sons of Harvard" and Harvard's minority AA program.
Turns out that those results are the same and what you would expect - putting people in Harvard when they don't belong there (whether because their father went there or there is a perceived lack of brown/black students), they fail at much higher rates than the folks that belong there.
Wow. Shocking, I know.

Same thing at MIT.
Sowell is exactly where I learned about the problem of mismatching from.

I read that. Example... A smart black student turns down a scholarship to U. Texas where he would succeed in favor of a scholarship to Harvard where he is doomed to fail.
U. Texas becomes desperate. So they offer a scholarship to a black student who would succeed at La. Tech but fails at U.T.
