However, it sucks ass if you're a successful kid in a school full over bright overachievers ...

There was a story on this on 60 Minutes. Made me think of Bakke v. Regents, actually.

The Hispanic girl from an inner city school whose GPA never broke 3.2 got to go to the good college and was struggling to stay in, while the white girl with the 3.9 didn't get in to the school that her father, grandfather, and two brothers had attended.
