What a bullsh!t waste of reading space

They start off with facts, then go into some vague ‘unfairness’ feeling

The Ivies turn away lots of kids whose families would pay the full tuition.

"The school picks whoever can afford to pay the tuition"

That's just not true anymore, and it's especially not true at the top 10 schools. A very robust percentage of students at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford are all on some kind of tuition assistance program.

The fact of the matter is that MANY white students of means, and who perhaps have higher scores on entrance exams are turned away in favor kids who fit the right ethnic profile. This of course is done in the attempt to satisfy some misguided desire for diversity, and much of it is done irrespective of a student's ability to pay full tuition.
