| Northeastmom, actually, I showed my post to one of the Cincinnati's alumni. In fact, he is on their Alumni Board of Directors. He was speechless. His only response was that their policy is based on "affirmative action." This way they can get more underrepresented minorities.
God, I HATE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION! However, I guess that we have to give them credit. Implementing affirmative action in the way that they do avoids any law suits.I can't really complain that they use unweighted GPA ,and don't use portfolios in admission ,and discriminate against kids from tough high schools or tough programs. Their admission policy isn't discriminatory on its face. It is, however, plainly idiotic.
I guess I just needed to vent. Grrrrrrrr. |
