First of all, in my post I never described women and minorities as either unqualified or qualified. I think most if not all of the admitted students at MIT are certainly qualified to graduate and "Succeed" at MIT. My point was if you actively try to get a certain demographic into your school (and by actively I mean making admissions easier for that demographic), then you'll certainly end up with a less talented class. I never talked about SAT scores as an objective measure of merit either, although I think they are useful to a degree.

Honestly, not sure
. Although I think there are too many factors involved to actually draw a strong conclusion from this.
