I think that we should start a new cycle without AA. Someone my not be able to get into a better school to make those lesser grades, but they can get into a state school and do well. This sets up their children to do better, because they have a better start.

With the better grades they can make a firm footing for their family. And allow for upward growth. This is a deferred gratification tactic. Which i beleive in.

I am not racist, I think that there shouldn't be a check place for race or gender on any application.

Edit: it's late and my thoughts are not put together well. Sorry.
