Because of that someone else will get the slot. They will take a low score and start adding in how disadvantaged they were and their ethnicity and whatever to get a perfect score plus several points.

What I’m saying is that some so-called disadvantaged minority will most likely get the spot instead of the person who scored a hundred on the SAT.

He looks like a Brotha so that counts for something, right?

Winning the lottery, lightning striking twice, a perfect SAT score?A remarkably idiotic lede.
The first two are pure chance. The last is a combination of high basic ability and a great deal of hard work.
To: caveat emptor
He sounds like a great kid. Wish more were like him. He strives for excellence in all parts of his life. A winner.

The best part is that you assumed he wasn’t already a minority........

He is a Black but with then name Cameron Clarke he better enclose his picture.
Sad part is some one will give him a nifty jacket or spiffy sneakers and one of the others will take them from him, more than likely using force.
Only way to keep them ‘all’ down is start at the top and whittle away so very few of the ‘gifted’ make it out.
Very sorrowful.

Depending on which source you believe, somewhere between 300 and 1000 kids a year score perfect SATs.

That I did. But what are the odds? I was being rhetorical. Maybe a bit sarcastic. Usually what happens is what I wrote.

Why would you assume something like that? The kid is clearly hard working, and an accomplished musician. Jealous? Did your kids not do quite so well?
I for one wish the kid the best of luck.

Well said.
