re: how Harvard’s composition would change if admission based solely on being top decile

When you decide to actually address my point in a sane and logical manner you will merit a response.

Till then it is you who is a sky screamer.

Elected President of the Harvard Law Review is evidence.

Many Asian’s chance in life does not match their test scores and grades. The latter is artificially inflated by a maniacal obsession in many of these families with academic success, it doesn’t reflect the potential of the individual.

I guarantee if you took the IQ of the average white person (or likely black or Hispanic person) with a perfect score on their SAT and compared it to The average Asian you would see a significant difference. Same thing with success after college.

I don’t blame Harvard for taking that into account.

And this is what people don’t understand. There are so many kids with 4.0+ and great test scores. Just think of all the high schools in America.

Harvard has long examined more than just gpa and test scores.

Given their pool of applicants they could take the easy path and just fill every slot with applicants that had a 4.0+ and a perfect SAT Score. Doing so would greatly diminish the diversity of the incoming class a hundred different ways beyond just race.

Asians are treated as Caucasian for scholarship purposes.

Now you see why.

Dear liberals, are you aware of the Chinese railroad? The slavery and the atrocities placed upon those people?

Kinda weird that their is no outrage right? Or is it weird at all?

Interesting.

This is what I'll say, since I believe in being fair.

Harvard and all other elite universities should focus on recruiting the best. Since they are a private institutions (like a private business) they should have the final say. A private business can discriminate between applicants if they feel one person would fit in better than the other.

As for public Universities, they should do the same given their criteria.

This would be a good time to beef up our vocational programs. The new influx of students into these programs would be a better benefit to our society than the surplus of liberal arts produced at our Universities at all levels per year.

Also, the free market has and will continue to correct itself. So I'm not promoting discrimination. I'm promoting being fair and letting vocational education pick up the slack.

By all accounts? Link?

is that bc Harvard doesn’t look solely at grades, this policy of racial discrimination is fine. No matter how you justify it, it’s racial discrimination. Just be honest and admit that you approve of racial discrimination as long as it benefits darker complected people. 

Until you’re willing to be intellectually honest, you’ll remain the sky screaming fool we all laugh at.

Not necessarily. Think of it this way. There are plenty of 4.0 + perfect SAT scores people who have little social skills. It's a cliche and doesn't apply to everybody but its VERY TRUE.

Schools do have a right to want different types of students in their class.

But honestly it doesn't matter because you and others wont be content until its 100% white or Asian. And most likely, that's never going to happen.
