<p>I have to agree with the above poster. Personally I think using Affirmative Action makes it seems like the only way African-Americans can make it into top schools is with a little help and I think the reason why we may hate and yet love it is because a lot of persons covet an ivy league education, so any opportunity you get to attend such institution you’ll take it.</p>
<p>Granted, there are few cases of people who, based on scores, wouldn’t make it into top schools but when they did they flourish, but what happened to the rest of them. The next study should chronicle the performance of African-Americans at top schools over their 4 years, because getting in is one thing, staying there is another.</p>
<p>(unless there is already a study like this)</p>
