Rod Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 So will white people that didn’t get accepted into schools because they were white be eligible for reparations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard a report last night that 60% of UW Madison students being admitted are NON RESIDENT students as opposed to 20% just 10 years ago. I guess some in the legislature want to know why there are some Wisconsin applicants that are being bumped or put on a waiting list for application status even though they are in the top of their class. Not sure if it has anything to do with affirmative action, but interesting to say the least. Why would a top Wisconsin HS graduate not be admitted over a non resident?

Because they can charge the non-resident 3x as much And you have far far more Asians applying to UW than you did 20 years ago, and most of them live on the coasts and have academic and extra-curricular profiles that blow the doors off even your highest-achieving public school white kid from Stevens Point. All the most prestigious and highest-rated schools are facing the same. Northwestern, Michigan, Stanford, etc. Edited June 29, 2023 by Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a top Wisconsin HS graduate not be admitted over a non resident? our daughter will be applying for Madison shortly... stay tuned. funny thing is... she's not certain if she actually wants to go there but is curious to see if she'd make the cut as a 4.0 honor roll student who's been in all IB classes since 9th grade. we're going to tour NMU as they have an extremely high acceptance rate for medical school. either way, it's going to be like buying a new top of the line sled every year for the first four years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 29, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 29, 2023 If you look at the Harvard case it wasn't affirmative action trying to balance enrollment with historical country demographics. It became only to benefit one particular race in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a sure thing to get accepted with those credentials. Granted it will cost $$$, but I am sure she can get some good scholarships with a 4.0.

Best thing I ever did was starting saving for my kids college shortly after they were born. Had some crazy gains before and after the crash of 07-08. Both have some left over that we can transfer into their kids accounts when born. The college saving accounts are one of the few things govt gets right.

I'm not in favor of free college either... just good value for money, same with taxes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little woman's daughter had just shy of a 4.0 after the Pass/Faill BS SPASH implemented with e-learning, I mean NO LEARNING during the Covid stay home bullshit. She applied as did a couple of her friends and got accepted - she just didn't want to go there for what they charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even state schools have become dumping grounds for high salaried political payoff jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 29, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 29, 2023 I'm opposed to affirmative action in general but at a minimum they should have to be renewed yearly or have sunset clauses that let them possibly expire as things change. Then there is no need for the courts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixty-two percent of all undergraduates are Wisconsin residents or enrollees through the Minnesota reciprocity program, The enrollment numbers come from the university's official census, taken each semester on the 10th day of classes.
