Perfect SAT score is not a guarantee of entry into an Ivy or any particular elite school. They only accept exceptional students anyway. What's the difference between a student with a perfect score and a kid that has a few hundred points less? Practically nothing.
You've gotta bring more than that to the table. That said, the student will get into an elite school somewhere.
Which is how those schools are kept majority white...in conjunction with legacy acceptances, which is even more affirmative action for whites (since for so long they alone were allowed at these schools).

-The kid is homecoming king
-The kid got a business deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank
-The kid was valedictorian
-Besides in addition to having a perfect SAT score
I personally know several non-Asians with a less impressive resume that got accepted into Ivy leagues.
The fact is, there is statistical evidence that Asians are being discriminated against.
Quote:
On average, Asian students need SAT scores 140 points higher than whites, 270 points higher than Hispanics, and 450 points higher than blacks to get into highly selective private colleges.
Asians have to go above and beyond what other races do in order to get into the top colleges.
You don't think the Obama daughters can get into an ivy league school even if they were average students?
Rare case, if so...there is only one set of Obama's daughters. There are tons of white legacy children since whites alone were allowed to attend these institutions for so long. Whites have double affirmative action which doubly hurts Asians.

Yes to an extent...yet...most ivy leaguers are not legacies, which is why whites are rejected despite having better resumes than students of other races, except Asians.

You don't even need that if you're white and daddy went there.
Legacy students do not get as much of a break as blacks, even at private schools, and public schools give legacies little if any special consideration.
