<p>Interested Dad: thank you for posting the statistical information. One can debate whether spots have shifted to Caucasian boys or AA/Asian/Hispanic girls, but in the preservation of gender balance and promotion of diversity opportunity it is pretty clear which demographic group is the only loser. My Caucasian daughter is a Swat applicant this year (with the school being one or her top choices) and the recognition that she is vying for one of 75 spots, some of which already are gone or going via ED is deeply discouraging, as she has perfect ACT and SAT II scores to go with her top 2% rank and excellent and quirky extracurricular activities. Oh well, she interviewed well and what will be will be.</p>
<p>Busdriver 11- whatever will we do to help end the discrimination against those white American males and preserve opportunities for those who won’t make an effort for themselves despite every demographic and cultural advantage?</p>
