And to answer the quote “And I’m sure there are many African-Americans with higher stats than you too,” that is utter BS. I can’t find 10 blacks with 4.0/2390’s on this world if I tried for the rest of my life.

<p>I pity you.</p>

Are you serious? You’re telling us to shut up. Then you make a snarky racist comment, and imply that a 2400 SAT score is what HYP should be looking for. </p>

<p>We get it. College admissions are toughening up. But that doesn’t mean we should start pointing fingers at people of different races. That’s called scapegoating. This defense mechanism is already responsible for a lot of hate and stupidity in this world. Why don’t you grow up before babbling and spewing your nonsense all over these boards.

</p>

<p>I agree, enough said.</p>

“Dean Fitzsimmons once talked about how the Committee’s principles on which the decision-making process is based aren’t very difficult to understand…You’d make sure they were smart, but you’d treasure their personal qualities above all in your decisions. And you’d want people from different backgrounds: talent, ethnicity, etc.”

</p>

<p>And that would be a wise choice.</p>

<p>OK, this is the best thing I’ve read on this topic. </p>

<p>Some of you should tuck her little racist flags back in your pockets. Whoof, I have read stuff on this thread that I didn’t want to believe still existed in the U.S.</p>

<p>My D is a green eyed blonde who got into H and Y from a public high school. So it certainly can be done. She is a bright well rounded kid who worked hard in school but the admissions letter had a personal note saying they really liked her essay. So it is possible.</p>
