My daughter had her heart set on going to Notre Dame about 10 years ago. She had a 4.3 GPA and 1360 SATs along with multiple club/sports participation and being Catholic. The only kid they picked from her school out of 5 applicants was a party girl who was a double legacy. They also gave full rides to several black kids she knew online. When she got rejected, it was too late to apply for the full ride scholarship she clearly qualified for at ASU, so she ended up having to pay regular tuition there.
“The only kid they picked from her school out of 5 applicants was a party girl who was a double legacy. They also gave full rides to several black kids she knew online.”
Blacks are pushing to have white females removed from the list of “oppressed minorities” that qualify for freebies; the math just isn’t working out (between white females, all Hispanics, and all blacks getting free rides in school and jobs). White females will be dropped first because they (like white males) will just sit there & take it. FWIW, until the Catholic Church speaks out against this practice (Notre Dame being a Catholic school and all), I don’t give them any money (though I attend Mass with my wife & children regularly); I’m setting an example for them as well.
