Angry Chicago father says America’s top universities shut his daughter out because she’s whiteby Philip Sanchez
Spring is a time of passage for many high school seniors who will learn the admission decisions from America’s best universities.
But it can also be, as it was for my daughter, the worst time in an aspiring student’s life.
”Jane” attends one of Chicago’s best, most diverse and most academically-driven public high schools.
Over the past four years, Jane has worked hard to gain admission to one of the top schools.
She has a 3.94 cumulative GPA, a 32 score on the ACT, four years of Chinese language study, attended a Chinese university last summer at the U.S. State Department’s expense, and has achieved the highest scores on all five of her advanced placement tests.
Jane hopes to major in Foreign Affairs and continue her Chinese language education.
Despite her glowing resume, Jane receivedrejection letters fromYale and Stanford and was wait-listed at Georgetown’s Walsh School for Foreign Service.
On the other hand, herminority fellow students were accepted intoIvy League schools even though they had significantly lower GPAs and test scores.
