a black student at Smith has likely tried harder and done more work to get to where she is than a white student (at least, in my group of friends and my personal story) and is therefore likely to work harder for graduation

<p>That’s the point, Smith isn’t the norm. At the vast majority of colleges, a white student is far more likely to graduate than a black student.</p>
