I am posting this question merely to see what others think. I mean no disrespect to anyone or anyones history.
At what point in time do we stop with Affirmative Action! I have recently applied to pharmacy school and was denied. I had an excellent score on the PCAT, excellent interview, letter of intent, etc. My counselor said that I was a shoe in. Well I was denied, so I went to the board and asked why? I said its because I am a white male right!! and they merely responded was that its just one of those things that happen. I later found that they had to fill a diversity requirement for the school. My sister has a friend that applied the same time as I. She was a Argentinian gal, (nice girl) however had worse grades and a lower pcat score.
When will the one with the best grades/ qualifications be admitted?How can we hope to defeat racism by having affirmative action.
