<p>It sucks that someone who is less qualified than another applicant may get admitted over that other applicant because of race or sex. However, diversity is important and should be celebrated. No college is going to admit people who cant handle their curriculum. If they choose one applicant over a more qualified applicant…oh well. It doesn’t seem fair, but if things didn’t work this way then it is likely that student populations would become more and more homogenous and people wouldn’t be surrounded by a diverse group of individuals and therefore would have more narrow views of the world. I think the great thing about college (or at least many colleges) is that people are often surrounded by a diverse group of individuals. If a school has a large population of white females, I don’t see anything wrong with admitting the Latino male with the 1950 SAT over the white female with the 2100 SAT. The intelligence difference is likely going to be unnoticeable, so who cares.</p>
