Outside of the blacks that do well enough to get into these IVY leage schools, I think many blacks should focus on learning a trade. It can be IT, Computer Programming, Plumbing, etc. The return on investment is going to be much higher and less debt. Many community colleges have programs that specialize in trades now and you can do two years there and finish at a state school college. If you're throwing up 40gs or more a year for a liberal arts degree you're wasting money.
Let these other people obsess over getting into these schools. The black undergraduate populations has averaged about 6% for the past 20 years according to The Atlantic. People are really wasting their time over that? Seems like alot of these pissed off applicants are just trying to weasel their way into a school they didn't have the grades for. Even if I don't agree with it, these private Ivy League schools should be able to decide how they admit students.
The game is learning a trade and selling a product. The best thing about going to a Ivy League school is the network you can build. If you go to one and don't build that network, you wasted time anyway. If you don't want to learn a trade and are creative, open a shopify site and sell some products. With Facebook and Google Ads, it's easier for someone on a budget to reach their audience that will buy something. If you are creative you should still be using your creative skills as a trade. Make logos, flyers, etc for other small businesses to pad your own business until it's off the ground.
