So, putting URM’s or more low/middle class whites/asians is a sure-sign that they will fail?

This is ridiculous - don’t act as if there aren’t plenty of schools with just-as-rigorous academics as ivies. There are enough kids who can do the work at these institutions to fill 10x the amount of available seats.

I’m not advocating to walk out onto the street and find these people - but there are kids who fall into these situations who have worked, and because of their determination to succeed - would do just fine in these programs.
