This is in response to Serenity_24. In my opinion (which could very well be wrong) Affirmative Action has never really been set up so that say, you have to have a 3.0 to get into a school, but for minorities you can have a 2.5. Rather it seems that if you have less than a 3.0, but yet you have something else to bring to the table then you will still be admitted. Which in my opinion is totally fair...life isn't black and white, GPAs and SAT scores. There is always a story behind everything and it's never fair to only look at certain indicators. What angers me about the situation is that while certain folk will complain about affirmative action in one sense, they won't complain about legacy clauses that allow children of alums special treatment, nor will they complain about letting star athletes in that don't meet basic requirements....
