<p>Im Black and I even think Blacks have it to easy in America.</p>
<p>Its almost pathetic, maybe I am different, But I dont want handouts from other people.</p>
<p>well the only way she got to move on is because she <em>beat</em> two other students in the challenge. Theres no way to say that standards were lowered for her there.</p>
<p>Amari: turned down Harvard EA (and a plethora of other excellent schools) for Columbia. Best wishes to her.</p>
<p>Taking information/rumors from this message board and the one on ABC.com, this is a list for nine of them:</p>
<p>Jeremy & Alyssa: Harvard
Melissa: Pomona
Max & Amari: Columbia
Scott: Dartmouth
Milana: Princeton
Liz: Yale
Davis: USC</p>
<p>I don't know about Gerald, but the show made it seem like NYU and Sarah Lawrence were his top choices.</p>

As long as theirs affirmitive action with whites and asians as the norms, I will gladly take all this free money. It is a good day to be a young negro!</p>
<p>haha...and a hispanic....</p>
<p>It's sort of ironic how Davis thought that he was so much more brilliant than all the other candidates and yet ended up in a school with a much higher admissions rate. (this is not a jab at usc, my father is a usc)</p>
<p>I suspect Davis received some very nice merit-based scholarships for USC. Since the Ivies only give need-based aid, and it really didn't look like he would qualify for much in that regards, he probably had to look beyond the Ivies.</p>
<p>makes sense - what did he say his parents' income was?</p>
<p>Tonight is the finale. Watch it guys! I haven't seen it myself, but I heard it's supposed to be awesome (of course my sources are a little biased...lol). You will find out what colleges everyone will attend, and of course the winner of "The Scholar" will be revealed. =]. Watch!</p>
<p>-Jeremy (the token asian...lol).</p>
<p>when is it playing?</p>
<p>8/7 central time

Hmm maybe, just maybe, he WANTS to go there. Or they are giving him a large sum of money? Likewise, I'm going to a #90 school for all the money they'll give me.</p>
<p>I will definitely watch!</p>
<p>Davis said his parents made over 140K or 150K... and Scot said his made less than 50K, apparently.</p>
<p>"These are probably the most important questions you will answer...in your life." - yeah, no pressure!</p>
<p>"Angelina Jolie" - wow</p>
<p>of corse a Black had to win.</p>
<p>could we have it any other way.</p>
<p>What? No, no, you are surely mistaken. You think Melissa won just because she is black? What a disgusting notation. Did you not see any deserving qualities in that girl? </p>
<p>I don't understand why everyone points to racism. Melissa fully deserved that scholarship and I was rooting for her all the way. What heart.</p>

"Angelina Jolie" - wow

<em>sigh</em> Poor girl. She made the mistake of thinking that adcom likes unique. Yes, they love 'unique' but only to a certain extent.</p>
<p>Actually, Melissa is half African American, half caucasian. Did one half of her deserve it more than the other half?</p>
<p>Jeremy, congratulations on your scholarship, good luck at Harvard, and I hope you keep in touch with the others.</p>
<p>Gerald is Uni. of North Texas</p>
<p>I am black, and yes she won becasue she was black./</p>
<p>Jeremy has gone to, :eek:, Harvard! Not surprising, though :)</p>
