Percentage Quotas In Universities

Yes, they still exist, just under a different name. Applicants with the same test scores but different ethnic backgrounds have different acceptance rates. Here's some statistic data from the Association of American Medical Colleges: One of the commenters at Carpe Diem blog actually confirms that these stats are correct; that it's more difficult for him to get to medical school, in spite of the higher MCAT score, because he doesn't happen to be a member of a designated "disadvantaged" group and the quotas are apparently too tight.

How many more students were denied acceptance only because they didn't fit the percentage quota? How many skilled professionals do we lose because they just can't get the education they need? And, how many hard-working Black and Hispanic doctors, those who could have qualified fair and square, will be looked at as if they too were fast-tracked because of their background?

Saying "we don't want any of your kind" - that's discrimination, no questions asked. But why would one believe that "we don't want any more of your kind" is any different, let alone - better?
