I don’t know but we had a black female that had to repeat 1st year. She still struggled. She openly admitted she was given test questions in advance by the administration.
Really nice girl but admin was perplexed when half the class got an “A” on the next gross anatomy exam.

Poor anchovies, before you wokies started with your bullshit a top ranking college would suck up these high scoring students so that college name would be attached to their success for a lifetime.
Now, you better be a black dwarf homosexual trannie with a lisp with no SAT score, and that "college" gets to brag about how fucking "inclusive" they are. OR, have parents that have donated tens of, thousands of $$$ to that school just so their kid gets in for a year or two.

The Class in front of me had a Dentist. He was KILLING it then in his second year his grades sagged and he finally flunked out. The story is that his wife preferred Dentist income over poor medical student income and he started working more and more then flunked out. I saw some of his biochemistry test from his first year and he scored 103 and 105.

Asian American student blames affirmative action for college rejections, but California law doesn’t allow that

As for Wang’s rejection from UC Berkeley, a 1998 California law banned the use of racial preferences in admissions at public colleges in California. The law, called Proposition 209, approved by voters in 1996, ended race and gender-blind criteria for admissions decisions at public institutions in the Golden State. This law prevented affirmative action from negatively impacting Wang’s admission to the public university.

High School Student with 1590 SAT score Blames Affirmative Action for College Rejections

An 18-year-old Asian-American student is blaming affirmative action practices after he was denied from six elite colleges despite a near-perfect SAT score.

Florida native Jon Wang applied to a number of prestigious universities across the country. With his 4.65 high school GPA and a score of 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT, he was presumed to be an obvious acceptant to numerous prestigious universities.

But after applying to a list of six top-tier universities that included MIT, CalTech, Princeton, Harvard, Carnegie-Mellon and U.C. Berkeley, Wang was rejected by all of them.

In an interview with Fox Nation, Wang claimed that he was warned by school guidance counselors that he may have a difficult time getting accepted into these colleges because of his race.
“They all told me that it’s tougher to get in, especially as an Asian American,” Wang Said. “I just took it as gospel.”

In recent years, it has become more transparent that affirmative action programs penalize Asian-Americans in particular. In 2009, a study by Princeton found that Asian students face much higher odds of getting accepted into universities than other races. The study, written by sociologist Thomas Espenshade, found that, “to receive equal consideration by elite colleges, Asian Americans must outperform Whites by 140 points, Hispanics by 280 points, Blacks by 450 points in SAT (Total 1600).”

Wang found a similar result when he reached out to Students for Fair Admissions.

“I gave them my test scores, and then they must’ve ran the model on that… [they] told me I had a 20% chance of getting accepted to Harvard as an Asian American and a 95% chance as an African American,” Wang explained.

Affirmative action practices, even when implemented by people with sincere intentions, discriminate against those who work the hardest and achieve the greatest success. As Americans, we must acknowledge that we cannot undo the discrimination of the past with new forms of discrimination in the present. Instead, we must do as Martin Luther King Jr. instructed: judge people by the content of their character over the color of their skin.


============================

Because of the color of his skin this kid is being discriminated against. Clearly this is wrong. Admission to college should be based on merit not skin color. It is time affirmative action to end. In my medical school class in the top 10% there was a black girl. She had great grades in College also but she was a non nonsense studying machine with fantastic notes. We also had an Asian in the top 10% he was a studying machine also.. The point is they both earned an equal shot at a good residency of their choice because they EARNED it. The SCOTUS is about to rule on this kid's case.

Of course an Asian kid would make such a racist claim.

Why?

Because....

China and South Korea. Asians hate black people, and the haters bombed the rating sites, even though NONE of them have actually seen the movie.

An Asian American student from Florida with a 1590 SAT score who was rejected from six elite universities has joined the Supreme Court case seeking to end race-based admissions.

About the student: Jon Wang, an 18-year-old student with a 4.65 high school GPA and a perfect score on the SAT's math section, was rejected from MIT, CalTech, Princeton, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon and the University of California, Berkeley. He blames affirmative action, which notably was banned in California in 1995.
