[QUOTE="ultimase, post: 3190934, member: 12936"] It's not just Harvard, it the entire education institution. So take a look at this chart, for med school. [IMG]https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/medschool.png[/IMG] The percentage in the columns is the percentage of those who would gain admission with the above grades. Lets look at the extremes. A 24-26 MCAT with a GPA of 3.2-3.39. If you're Asian only 5.9% are getting in with these grades. But if you're White, Hispanic or Black, well then 8.0%, 30.5% and 56.4% respectively. Or A 30-32 MCAT with a GPA of 3.6-3.79. If you're Asian only 57.5% are getting in with these grades. But if you're White, Hispanic or Black, well then 63.0%, 83.4% and 93.7% respectively. So same scores, but some are admitted based on their race versus others. How is this not racism? If it was flipped upside down I bet there would be screaming from the rooftops that it was. [/QUOTE]
