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

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

There is little meritocratic about college admissions. The ONLY time we seem to care is if we think Black students are getting something to help mitigate the inequality Black students as a class face in K12. — PolitiTweet.org
