I'm scratching my head at this thread on so many levels...
is this to imply that blacks (and not white women) are the largest beneficiaries of affirmative action?
is this to imply that blacks choose not to earn high GPA's and LSAT scores when its simply within their ability all along?
As I thought would be clear from my mention of the LSAT, I'm talking about law school admissions. White women don't receive AA for law school admissions.
Earning a high UG GPA and LSAT score is largely just about working hard, so yes, it is within most everyone's ability. It requires spending many nights with text books instead of friends, but most anyone can do it.
I don't understand why anyone, once admitted to a good undergraduate school, can't work hard and get good grades.
