+465 College acceptance doesn't make sense. A white kid with a high G.P.A. and a million extra curricular activities has a lesser chance to go to an Ivy League school than some Hispanic,Black kid/athlete who all have horrible grades just because they're a certain race/nationality/do really well in sport. amirite?

Well, everyone who is applying to an Ivy League School for academics has a high G.P.A and a million extra-curriculars. The sports programs at Ivy league schools are not as competitive (since they probably suck), so less people are applying for a more athletic purpose.

clearly you're just mad that a black/Hispanic person got in instead of a white

A black/Hispanic with horrible grades wouldn't get in over a Caucasian with stellar ones. They probably would if they had slightly less stellar grades, which is still unfair, but not quite as unfair as you're making it sound

Ivy League = Sports focused colleges. So yeah if they're amazing at a sport and get very good grades, they will get in....

Harvard released their admissions data from 2008 and black applicants had no higher chance at being admitted than white applicants.
