Affirmative Action- LET'S DISCUSS

<p>I am working with a major cable network on a project, and we're looking for stories from young people about how affirmative action has effected their college admissions process. Want to hear your stories!!</p>

<p>Your first and biggest problem is that NO college admission officer would ever disclose WHY a particular candidate/applicant was offered admission or vice versa. One can only extrapolate how a Native American applicant with an average profile was accepted over a Caucasian applicant with a near-perfect profile.</p>

<p>Good luck gathering (skewed) data. </p>

<p>If you feel like you’ve been discriminated against for any reason, that’s part of the story. I’m not here to gather data, we want stories.</p>

<p>Well, AA discussions are limited to the stickied thread in the College Admissions forum.</p>

<p>So this thread may be closed at some point. You may want to post your query in that thread. I would also recommend reading through that thread.</p>

<p>MODERATOR’S NOTE:
As mentioned above, discussions on AA are limited to one thread only. Closing.</p>
