"Reach" for males is not the same as "Reach" for females

<p>“I believe it is important to have real diversity (as opposed to having a black student and a white student who are otherwise identical)”</p>

<p>Yups, we have that here…a male with an Hispanic father who has all the background, education and opportunity that everyone else has had, yet he has been accepted everywhere while comparable others have not…Nothing to distinguish him but paternal ethnicity…</p>

<p>Justified? Who knows? IMO, taking a URM from a down-ridden environment who has risen above it makes more sense than from an upper middle class suburb, but who am I to judge???</p>

<p>Yet, the successful female students (white and otherwise) around here have been shafted by top schools year after year…</p>
