The college admissions process is one of the worlds greatest mysteries. Why these individuals are convinced that it is because of their race that they were not admitted is beyond me. Incredibly competitive people of color are denied admissions to UNC and Harvard every year - some who are (gasp!) more competitive than the white people who are admitted. I got wait-listed at Columbia. Was it because my spot (cue the entitlement) went to a legacy student? Someone who did not need financial aid? Is that legal? Is it fair - whatever that means? Should I sue? Who knows? .... Administrators of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were sued by an advocacy group claiming race-based admissions policies violate the constitutional rights of highly qualified Asian applicants. Students for Fair Admissions Inc., a group which said it represents unidentified college applicants rejected by both schools, alleged in lawsuits filed today that the use of racial preferences illegally limited admission of Asian Americans.
