Affirmative Action Brilliance View Results A New Jersey African-American teen girl has been accepted to all 8 Ivy League schools. And she has to make her decision soon, deciding which one to attend in the Fall. CNN goes on to mention others who have overcame the enormous feat of being accepted into all 8 schools---- Students getting into all of the Ivies is a monumental feat, but it's happened to a handful of teens over the past couple of years -- Kwasi Enin in 2014, Harold Ekeh in 2015 and Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna and Kelly Hyles last year. All of the people mentioned are persons of color, specifically what appears to be African American. Are American higher education institutions tapping into previously undiscovered brilliance? Or is this a result of Affirmative Action? http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/04/us/teen-ivy-league-trnd/index.html --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks <cite>Capn Circus posted [p:876566880] in Black girl...

In theory, but it's always a numbers game for each one. You could get into the hardest to get into one but the lower ones might have more applicants that year and you get bumped off their acceptance list because the lower one had a higher turnout rate given it's in theory easier to get into.

AA allows race to be considered as a factor of admission, but not a sole determinant. What generally happens with AA is that there's a pool of equally qualified applicants, and race can essentially be used as a tiebreaker in an effort to create diversity. Remember, these elite schools basically only care about their rankings and prestige. They aren't going to admit people with lower than average SAT, because that would lower their overall average and make them look worse.
