<p>“people might not get in solely based on race, but it can definitely tip the decisions one way or another.”</p>
<p>As mentioned before, Yes the same way being a female applying to an engineering school, same way being a legacy vs a non- legacy might, or a athlete vs. a non-athlete, or asians at LACS, rural students over more qualified urban students, intended male nursing students over more qualified female nursing majors, black male education majors over more qualified female black educators, top private school kids over top public school kids, development case over non-development case, first generation over one who isint …anyway you look at it decisions can be tipped one way or another based on practices you consider unfair…its life…</p>
<p>I’m going to bow out of this thread as well…</p>
<p>learn to embrace diversity and the value that different races/cultures can add to a class room…you think you may have all the answers but there is a reason why most schools have this policy in place… stay humble…</p>
