It works like this: If there are 100 places and 10 of them are reserved for a quota (let's say there's only a single quota), everyone runs for the 90 universal places. If you're eligible to the quota but make it into the first 90, you'll get one of those 90 universal spots. Now, if you don't make it into the first 90 and have quotas on your favour, you'll now run with everyone else that's in the same situation as you for the last 10 places, so if you had at least the 10th best score among the quotists who didn't make it into the top-90 overall, you'll get in. It makes it much easier to get in since a minority of people have access to the quotas. The way you describe the less apt asians would be running against the more apt non-asians, and thus have a smaller chance of getting into the universal portion of the places. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that if you're right, then the system here actually benefits the quotist more. And of course religious diversity in schools makes for better academic output. Schools should never touch religion. We have universities around here which actually have religion (as in their religion) as required credits for every course. It's ridiculous. |
Well... that's just stupid if your quotas actually work that way. I've never seen or heard of quotas actually working that way.
Of course your region also teaches America as one continent somehow doesn't it?
