I don't know how many TLers right now are seniors and are applying to college, but I think for most schools we'll be able to see our admission decisions TODAY, in about 5 hours.
Anybody else waiting, and if so, which schools are you waiting on?
I'm waiting on Harvard and Dartmouth... GOOD LUCK ALL
You forgot to mention your amazing piano ability, your keen fashion sense, or your abnormal iq. This has to be a joke post.

It is a well known fact that East Asians (more specifically Chinese, Korean, Japanese) get the shaft more than white folks due to Affirmative Action at the top schools. It is called 4x over-representation, which translates into reverse-AA for East Asians.
Minorities only get an edge if they are an URM (Under Represented Minority), but if they are over-represented, ... yeah, pretty self explanitory.
Oh yeah, South Asians are also over-represented (Asian Indians, etc)

No, but they are the biggest minority here by far. And you said:
"well half of you will be glad that affirmative action smiles upon you"
So I assumed you were talking about Asians. How many black SCers do you know anyway? I know we don't have many here, but we do have a few Latinos, but not even close to enough to be "half". ;o
Anyway, 20 minutes to go. Wow -_-

i'd take affluent parents with professional careers, high levels of education, and strong family values over moderately easier admissions rates anyday

Exactly, which is why the raced based AA is flawed, in my opinion. A rich black kid has more in common with a rich white kid than a poor black kid. And the poor white kid has more in common with the poor black kid than his rich black peer. Socioeconomic background is the more dominant factor, for sure. That is why the race based AA came about in the first place -- because Jim Crow really held down the black man so most black families came from the low end of the socioeconomic ladder. But why not, as I see it, just simple attack the problem of socioeconomics head on? Oh well.
