The thumbs on the scales for womyn and minorities is so heavy in terms of measuring SAT scores for admission they (womyn/minorities) practically don’t have to take them.

In what way do you say the 'thumb is on the scales' for women and minorities? They score the tests all the same way. Are you referring to the way they are normed by sex? Are you referring to the predictions of success in college? Could you clarify?

What planet do you live on? All colleges use a multiplier of SAT scores based on ethnicity and gender to meet sometimes unstated but always quite real “diversity” quotas. White and Asian males get 1.0. Others get a sliding scale start well beyond 1.5.

We can’t prove it since he won’t release his records, but many (myself included) are pretty sure this is what got that barry the half-wit into Harvard, his idiot wife into Princeton and both diplomas and degrees.
