disgruntledmoose Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I see people getting rejected who have 3.9+ GPAs, high GREs and Letters of Recommendation from top Professors at reputable institutions. I am in no way claiming all of those black people are unqualified. However this seemed like a concerted effort from Black in AI so it is likely black students got admitted with lower GPAs. This is unfair. evovae, kleo, d0lorezhaze and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntledmoose Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 I do not think it's ethically or legally right. Diversity is great and I am a proponent for it but black CS grads make up 7-8% so 15% is not normal.So they practiced overt affirmative action. kleo, evovae, calizab and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangobear Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 So black people can't have 3.9+ GPAs, high GREs and Letters of Recommendation from top Professors at reputable institutions? Why should there be a quota for how many people of a certain race or ethnicity should be admitted? What makes 15% "overt affirmative action"? calizab, Undeuxtrois, astroglia and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. t Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Oof, yeah, no, we're not doing this. I suggest you spend some time with yourself and figure out why something good happening to someone else feels like a personal assault.
