Many institutions have been admitting the most "PC" students over the most "intelligent" ones for quite some time now.

West Point and Harvard have the toughest acceptance rates in their history??? If you look up the demographics that go their you will see they really do not fit the "PC" mold you seem to think. Sounds like a funny line, but the facts don't support it.

A turtle on a fence post is no accident. Harvard is fully engrossed in being PC (although maybe your definition of 'PC Mold' is different than mine), and Harvard is definitely not wanting to be "too asian"..........

from the harvard website:

https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/ ... statistics

Majority white- only over-represented group(on us demographics) is Asian-American

You need high scores, high grades and a well-rounded HS experience. The days of being an average kid, but son of of a rich legacy are over and have been for some time

In fact the only break on grades and scores is given for athletes :?

If a school is flooded with applications from every walk of life and "no fee" applications from inner city schools, they too will have 10-7% admittance.
I am not talking race, I am talking PC ideology. The academies are happy to push gays, moselms, females, to the front of the line.
Many brilliant students skip the Ivies because they know they are mind-mold institutions.

Where do you get your info?? The students that were in my daughter's HS that went "Ivy" were all brilliant. The "mind mold" you speak of are mostly in the fine arts and sociology- pretty much where they are on any campus.

As far as your comment on the academies- any stats to back that up?(besides some hear-say sour grapes)
