re: Good for him - his accomplishments should be advertised as an example to all students. But, don’t tell any of the poverty pimps - they will insist he live in the ghetto to prove that whitey is holding him down. They can’t stand it when a minority works hard and succeeds without their help

I agree. Upon reading the title I assumed he was simply another affirmative action winner. But congratulations are in order for Kwasi Enin. He does sound like a great student who has great parents who have encouraged success and a humble attitude. But he and his parents will not get the credit. The poverty pimps will see to that.

He was, in a way. He is no doubt smart and an excellent student. But the Ivy's students are all smart, and his SAT's were median for Ivy League schools. 8 Ivy's all accepting him? His name and skin color clearly gave him that extra push over the top. Don't blame him though, he will succeed wherever he goes - rather, its just another example of the diversity zealotry within Academia (and Ivy's in particular) showing itself.
