<p>Agreed b/c I saw an accepted student at Harvard today that had a 150k income and mediocre stats (at best) relative to Harvard applicants (i.e. all SAT scores were in the 600s range, class rank was like 20/400) and was a black female…the Indian male (me) with seemingly stronger stats can’t help but feel cheated b/c race should not account for something like a 300-400 point gap on the SAT I…call me jaded, but the admissions process at some of the elite schools is simply pathetic</p>
<p>Just the fact that they have press releases to brag about the fact that they accpeted 10% Latinos and 10% Acfrican-Americans (and 17% Asian-American) illustrates the point; Also, I think it is fair to say that Asians (inc. Indians) account for more than 17% of applicants and Blacks and Hispanics account for fewer than 20% of applicants.</p>
<p>But, maybe that’s just me.</p>
