Hahaha, yeah…well, I just graduated from UVA and I’m actually latino and no, I am not a legacy or rich. I never said test scores correlate to how succesful any student will be in college, however, we have to keep it real and not sugarcoat things. Minorities DO get a boost. It’s not a “kinda/sorta/perhaps”. We do and there’s nothing wrong with that. I didn’t score extremely high on my SATs like some of peers, but you know what-- I graduated with a 3.9, Phi Beta Kappa and with Highest Distinction from UVA, something that many of my peers did not do. Test scores don’t mean s*it, but don’t act as if you didn’t get a boost from a being latino and being out of state.
