For every open seat at a school like Harvard or UNC, there are literally thousands of qualified people. No one is owed that seat. Colleges select not by lining up all the highest test scores and GPAs, but by looking at any number of factors. I know. I once worked in admissions. — PolitiTweet.org

Meritocracy is impossible as long as we have a vastly unequal system of K-12 schools. Holistic admissions take into account the whole student, not just the test scores that reflect advantage more than anything else. — PolitiTweet.org

Students who go to elite, wealthy schools have access to so many AP and honors courses that they can graduate with 4.5 on a 4.0 scale, while Black kids often attend schools without a single AP or honors course offered and so can't get higher than 4.0 no matter how hard they work. — PolitiTweet.org
