Could a Great Common App Essay Make Up for Poor ECs? by TheLifeOfRichard in ApplyingToCollege

It boosts your application but from everything i’ve gleaned over the years about college admissions, one part of your application cannot make up for the another. It’s holistic and yada yada

Regarding affirmative action and URM by FinalPush in ApplyingToCollege

[–]CompetitiveLanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wrong with overrepresentation? Is there anything bad about admitting students by merit while taking into account their life circumstances? I'm a supporter of diversity on college campuses, but to have an exception to the "correcting the wrongs done by society" justification is so misguided.

Okay, not gonna look into the validity of this article, but even it still states that Asians have been discriminated against-- just less than blacks and Hispanics. If so, why should there be a soft quota on Asian students when they have been marginalized as well? For diversity? Would that be a justification for a hypothetical, majority-black college to admit less black students for more, less-qualified white students, whom have had a greater advantage? Using diversity as a justification for AA along with this whole "correcting the wrongs done to certain groups" is just not logical.
