How many Black and Latino students wasted their time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ?
You are correct that many struggle at such places, so these top schools turn themselves inside-out and upside-down to attract the small cohort of top black students that can pass their programs.
My daughter's school had a black boy, an excellent student, and son of two Nigerian doctors (so was neither poor nor typical American black) who rec'd admission offers from every Ivy League to which he applied (which was eight).
The asian and white kids who were also at that level were happy if they rec'd one.
Helping underqualified people get degrees in difficult fields of study ultimately means that they will be underqualified professionals with fancy but useless degrees.
These schools are still trying to put lipstick on pigs...and it just won't work.
TURN that around:
How many WORTHY STUDENTS did NOT get a seat because it was occupied by a person who did not merit being there?
