Don't know what to say other than feeling upset. The losers are more on the middle-class of poor Asians and the Whites obviously. Due to the increasingly large number of the black and the Hispanic voters, these situation will not change, if not getting worse. Then I read somewhere that for diversity reasons after those students(the black and the Hispanic) are admitted to the top universities, they actually don't have a nice experience at all, most of them simply can't catch up and some of them drop out. I'm fine with helping the economically disadvantaged students, but manipulating the admission by skin color or race? Top universities just like NBA, only the best players shall attend, skin color shall not be the reason you can stay there. Not to mention there are so many other public/private universities to choose for everyone.

From what I've read most of the black and Hispanic students are not dropping out due to course work, but an inability to pay for it. Furthermore, taking out more loans is often not the best idea since many of the students do not make the connections in those schools to get the best paying jobs and usually end up with similar jobs as their peers that went to less prestigious and cheaper schools.

Yes, there's been a fair amount of research on this. Essentially, once you get beyond the very very top, I'm not sure what beyond Harvard and MIT (and of course CalTech), there just isn't a large enough pool of qualified candidates. So at each "level" a large fraction of these students admitted and accepting belong in a school one or two levels down, where they could thrive.
