Esoteric, thank you for bringing sense to the affirmative action topic. Every time I see it bandied around here in CC there is so much misinformation, misunderstanding, and vitriol spewed at it.

Long32=3, first of all black students are far less likely to have two professional parents. Second of all, even when they do, they STILL get lower test scores than white students. Even controlling for socioeconomic status black students are still disadvantaged in this whole education thing, which is why they use race and not just SES – SES isn’t sufficient on its own to mitigate the effects.

And as for the thread…yea, there’s really not much difference between a 2400 and a 2350, or even a 2300 as was said. They’re both in the top 1% of test-takers across the country.
