first off, mc 365, i wasnt bitching about affirmative action at all...
secondly, i wasnt in the top 10% (#69 out of around 450
) in my high school because i realised what a joke it was and didnt do anything for pretty much the whole final year*... thankfully im actually quite smart, if you base intelligence on test taking, and could get into loads of schools based on my SAT scores and gpa...

Texas has the top 10% program. If you were in the top 10% of your class you would automatically be accepted to any institution in texas. So shut-up cause theirs alot of Latins and Blacks that get A in other states that wont be accepted to any good colleges becuase of the where their from |
well then blacks and latinos here get in if theyre in the top 10% also... reread my post, am i complaining about scholarship or school policies elsewhere? no im not, so you can stop right there...

Your parents should've went to college so they could afford to pay for yours. |

My father was born in the US in 1933 as a non white male. What oppurtunities do you think he had. So don't Bitch and moan about AA cause less then 10% of all minorites have recieved any AA. The real fact is white women get the most benafit from Americas AA program. |
dont try and turn this over and say that i cant bitch about a system i disagree with because other people think they have it harder... i wasnt complaining about AA in the slightest and what your father went through has abs nothing to do with me...
*obviously i did do some work our i wouldve failed, but it was just enough to get by...
