Error | US Message Board - Political Discussion ForumCollege Is for CooliesWant to see what a Bias Free, Quota Free, Top school, admission profile looks like?
First, a focus on arguably the Best college in the country.. and why.
The graph/numbers still above.
This is one of the Only top colleges without a Racial admissions policy. One that's Asian student body keeps climbing along with the number of advanced Asian students, unlike the Bigoted Ivy League schools who've All put/Capped/Quota-ed Asians at app ±16%.
Why Caltech Is in a Class by Itself | Minding The Campus

Toward a Pure MeritocracyThat's what happens without Quotas/"Holistic" admissions/Racial balancing. (tho they DO seek minorities; just don't bend admissions/lower standards)
Of the top two dozen or so elite universities in America only one has managed both to avoid the craziness of the post-60s intellectual fads, and to establish something pretty close to a pure meritocracy - California Institute of Technology, which has not received the general recognition among academics that it clearly deserves.
The stats on Caltech's students and faculty are simply spellbinding. An entering Caltech freshman last year who received a 770 on the math SAT would be exceeded in this area by 3/4 of his fellow entering freshmen. Many Caltech freshmen got a perfect 800 on their math SAT, while a near-perfect 1560 combination score placed an incoming freshmen at only the 75th percentile of his..classmates..
What this means is that at Caltech, there are no dumb jocks, dumb legacies, or dumb Affirmative Action students... Perhaps the most striking difference from all other elite universities - including institutions like MIT and the University of Chicago which forgo athletic recruitment - is Caltech's complete Indifference to Racial balancing.
In a state and a region of the country with the largest Hispanic population, Caltech's entering freshmen class in 2008 was less than 6% Hispanic (13 out of 236). The unwillingness to lower standards for a larger Black representation is even more striking - less than 1% (2/236) of Caltech's 2008 entering freshmen were listed as "non-Hispanic black".
This "Underrepresentation" of Blacks and Hispanics, of course, was more than made up for by the Huge "Overrepresentation" of Asians. Only 4% of the U.S. population, Asians made up a whopping 40% of the incoming freshmen class in 2008, a slightly larger proportion than the 39% figure for whites....

Asians, only 4% of the population are 40% of the meritocratic student body. Higher than the percentage for the much larger population group, whites.
`
Yet at Harvard, the last class admission was 14.7% Black, exactly 2% more than their population percentage!
`
Not a meritocracy until the motivation of paying students is in effect. By mandating indentured servitude instead, hypocritical Capitalists violate their own principles of incentive. They'll preach, "If you want McDonald's workers to become truck drivers, pay them a higher starting salary as truck drivers," but they'll never follow through on that by saying, "If you want the smartest students to study for college, pay them a higher student salary there than they can expect anywhere else at that age." This is because they want to keep own kids' advantage of living off an allowance that meets that requirement. Otherwise they'd drop out or refuse to go at all, like real Americans do.
David Koch went to MIT, which is similar to CalTech. But he lived off a high allowance there, which is the most important factor in that achievement of his. Just like Daddy bought him his politics, Daddy bought him his education.
Here we go again...
Even the cheap toys where you pull a string on the action figure’s back have more than just ONE phrase to repeat over and over
