For undergraduate admissions all they seem to care about is "diversity." That's why plenty of schools will turn down top students but accept average students. It's possible for MOST people to get an undergraduate degree. Graduate admissions is less concerned with such things because the average or below-average students will never make it. Therefore their current trend is women.

Hey hey now. . .

Sidewinder, you might not agree with him.

But if you stop calling him names for a minute you'd realize that that is one of the greatest things about your country! The fact that love it or hate it he can say what ever is on his mind.(as can you I understand) By calling him names,instead of listening to his opinion you're only smaking the face of everyone in America who has given so much to make it the country it is today.

I love Amercia the same way I love Canada, at the end of it all you may not agree, you might want to change things. . but you know what YOU CAN!

There are alot of places around the world that don't have it so nice!

It might not be a perfect system. . .but it could be alot worse!

Gotta love America...where we can bitch about everything and not realize that we have the right to bitch about everything.



Like it's stated above...if you don't like the USA...MOVE. I hear Russia has some great skiing going on right now. Maybe when your there, you can get robbed by some white guys instead...

cant we all just get along. This country does have its bad things but hey man these things we bitch about over here and nowhere near what happens around the world. Some people live with terrorism there whole life and they dont bitch about it they live withit. We have small incidents and you see how crazy things get over here. This country was built by everyone. Some people got more recognition than others. yeah sometimes we get a lil hurt by how the country treats us and its inhabitants but hey compare it to the rest of the world. Everyone hear is equal. Might not seem that way but the rules are there. AS we all know not everyone follows the rules per say we all have some twists on how we doit. Isnt a baby beautiful no matter whaat race. I sit on the train and see people who are different but when theres a baby and pure innocence no one thinks about the bad things. Everyone is born good in my eyes. The only things thats affects us is socialization and the attributes we obtain from our family and environment. If we want to reallly live amongst one another we have to learn about every culture and compare it to ours. Not say bad things abou tthem since theree views aint like ours. What im trying to say is. I love United States of America. The people who i have met from all over the world agree with me. they can bring a peice of there home here and are not scared. So if u dont like it here. You have the right to stay or leave or stay and bitch. thats what makes this country great.



Give thanks to the people from all backgrounds , rich and poor who made this country what it is not what it isnt.!!
