<p>emeraldkity4-Totally agree. The solution is to provide a solid foundation for these kids before they ever have to take the SAT's and apply for college. </p>
<p>nightshiftworker-Obviously you're going to need some sort of study to back up your statement. But even if it is true, don't Asians save the school money in other areas? Since Asians typically have higher median incomes than URM's, they require less need-based FA. Also, Asians are more likely to graduate, so how do you balance the fact that there is a higher % of Asians capable of donating vs. a lower % of Asians willing to donate (if that is indeed true).</p>
<p>Asdad-Taking remedial courses in college is truly a sad situation. College cost $$$. I certainly would not want to be spending money to learn something I should've in 9th grade. Athletes often get by because their professors pass them without them earning the grades. Perhaps because URMs come from subpar schools, we can grade them on a separate curve from everyone else [sarcasm]</p>
