HOW TO KILL A NATION.

Go to the actual page and play the game.
Use your imagination. Put in 350 MATH and 350 VERBAL
and observe the shocking FACTS!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

State-sponsored racism at its best.

[one2many]

This system is unfair to all.

Truly qualified blacks are permanently suspect.

Truly qualified whites are knocked off the economic ladder associated with the "better" schools.

The American people get a dangerous corps of poorly qualified "professionals".

This would make a great web site. Choose the university you would like to attend , enter your GPA, SAT, race, sex, age and see the probablity (based on historical data) that you would be accepted. See what the answer would have been if you were a different sex. Different race. Different age.

Probably GPA & SAT differences wouldn't matter a lot.

THE SHOCKING GAME

Great Article--terrible title. The only thing that would shock me (or anyone else who has been paying attention) would be if candidates with identical qualifications were admitted irrespective of the melanin content of their skin.

I think this is bogus. My daughter just graduated from UVa. We are white out-of-staters. I've sort of adopted the school because it's so much better than my own alma mater (which has a pretty good reputation of its own). I've been sitting in on classes there now for four years, and I have a pretty good idea of the sort of kids they accept.

I tried 800,800,90 and they only give someone with that record a 60% shot of getting in. Someone with 800,800,90 would have to have something real disqualifying not to get into UVa.

Affirmative Action plays a vital role: it ensures that every black and brown job holder in the U.S. is seen universally by the rest of the world as unqualified.

Way to go, Liberals.

If you want to see what's really interesting...watch your chances go up dramatically if you're out-of-state applicant!Then compare black to any other group...
